Introduction
“How long will I have to wear braces?”
It’s one of the first and most important questions we hear from our patients at Sabka Dentist.
The answer? It depends on your unique smile.
Let us break down what affects treatment time and how long it typically takes to achieve your dream smile.
|
Type of Case |
Estimated Duration |
|
Mild crowding or spacing |
6–12 months |
|
Moderate misalignment |
12–18 months |
|
Severe bite issues (overbite, etc) |
18–24+ months |
|
Combined jaw or skeletal issues |
24–30+ months (may need surgery) |
Average duration at Sabka Dentist:
12 to 18 months for most patients.
Factors That Affect How Long Braces Take
- Type of Braces You Choose
- Metal Braces: Reliable & fast for most cases
- Ceramic Braces: Slightly longer than metal
- Self-Ligating Braces: May reduce treatment time by 2–3 months
- Lingual Braces: Often take longer due to complexity
- Severity of Dental Issue
- Gaps, crooked teeth, crowding, or bite issues all require different timeframes
- Age of the Patient
- Younger patients (12–18 yrs) often see faster results due to ongoing jaw development
- Adults may require a bit more time, especially for bite correction
- Patient Compliance
- Regular appointments
- Proper oral hygiene
- Avoiding damage to brackets and wires
- Orthodontist Expertise & Monitoring
- At Sabka Dentist, our expert orthodontists monitor each case closely to optimize treatment time
