There is no clear regulation on how long to wear braces after tooth extraction. Some people put on braces when they are still lying in the dental chair after tooth extraction. Others will go home to recuperate for a while and then come back to the doctor for braces.

However, there are still relatively few people who make braces immediately after tooth extraction. After all, there will be a wound after tooth extraction, which is inconvenient for other operations in the mouth. Wearing braces may affect the coagulation and healing of wounds.

Generally speaking, many people wear braces one week after tooth extraction. In this way, the wound has swollen and healed initially, and there is no pain, which can reduce the burden on orthodontists.

If it is safer, you can choose to wear braces after three months of tooth extraction. This provides enough time for wound healing and reduces the risk of inflammation of tooth extraction wound during orthodontics.

But three months is too long, and it usually takes about a week to get braces. In other words, how long you can wear braces after tooth extraction is determined by the doctor according to the specific situation of the orthodontist. If you want to wear braces faster or slower, you can consult the attending doctor.
