Wellington Office:
Braces, Retainers, and Everything You Need to Know!
You’ve probably heard it before: "YOU NEED BRACES!" But don’t worry—braces aren’t as scary as they sound! Today’s orthodontic treatments are more comfortable, stylish, and customizable than ever before.
Braces! What Now?
Braces are a common and effective way to straighten teeth and improve your smile. The good news is that with today’s options, you can choose from different styles, materials, and even colors to make your braces experience more enjoyable!
How Long Will I Have to Wear Braces?
The time it takes to complete your treatment depends on three main factors:
- Early Treatment: Starting treatment early allows us to monitor your jaw’s growth and make any necessary adjustments. Not everyone needs early treatment, but in some cases, we may recommend it to ensure better results.
- What Needs Correction: The severity of the problem will influence how long it takes to correct. Some teens may need only 12 months, while others might need up to 24 months, depending on the adjustments needed for their smile.
- YOU! Your dedication to wearing your braces and appliances properly will play a huge role in the duration of your treatment. Following your orthodontist’s instructions and taking care of your braces can help make your treatment shorter!
