Hello!
The time the condom needs to be worn is related to the following factors. There is no exact number on how long braces should be worn because every patient who needs to straighten their teeth is different.
1. It is related to the patient’s own dental condition. Generally speaking, patients with severe malocclusion will wear braces for a longer period of time.
2. It is related to the type of braces selected by the patient. Different types of braces require different wearing times. Generally speaking, wire braces are worn longer than invisible braces.
3. It is related to the age of the patient. Compared with adults, the time spent using braces in adolescents is relatively shorter. In adults, bone metabolism and alveolar bone remodeling are slower, so it takes longer than in adolescents.
