How
Long Does Treatment Take?
Orthodontic
treatment takes a little more time as movement of teeth itself
is a slow process. The active treatment time ranges from one to
three years, on an average 18-20 months depending upon the severity
and the type of problem, patient’s age and of course the
cooperation of the patient. After the braces are removed a patient
may have to wear (if required) a retainer for some time to keep
the teeth in their new positions.
Successful
Orthodontic treatment requires a combined effort of the Orthodontist
and patient. Those patient who brush thoroughly, avoid sticky,
hard foods; wear their rubber bands and headgears as instructed
and keep their appointments usually finish treatment on time along
with the achievement of treatment goals- a healthy mouth and a
beautiful smile.
Thus,
Orthodontic treatment promises you more then just a beautiful
smile.
All
that glitters is not gold,
but
all those sparkle in your smile are diamonds.
Diamonds
are forever & so is your smile.
