How long do I have to wear braces?
The answer to this question is so individual that no general statement can be made. In principle, however, treatment that “only” straightens the teeth is completed more quickly than treatment that involves changing the position of the jaws. This is the case, for example, if your lower jaw is positioned too far “back” or too far “forward.”
The better you cooperate—that is, the more you follow your orthodontist’s instructions— the smoother and faster the treatment will generally go.
