How long do I need to wear braces?

Orthodontic treatment with braces typically takes approximately one and a half years. Irregularly aligned teeth—medically termed “dental crowding”—is a highly prevalent type of malocclusion. Orthodontic treatment is the most effective approach for managing this condition. If a 12-year-old child has completed the transition from primary to permanent dentition, correction should be initiated as soon as possible. “Wearing braces” refers to fixed orthodontic appliance therapy; it is strongly recommended to seek treatment at a reputable dental or orthodontic facility.
