Whether in Shantou or other places, the duration of orthodontics is similar! The transfer rate in orthodontics mainly depends on the remodeling rate of alveolar bone. When young, the metabolism is vigorous, the alveolar bone is not formed, the transfer speed is fast, and the orthodontic speed will also be accelerated. The monthly tooth movement is about 1mm, which is within the safe range.

In addition, the time of orthodontic treatment is closely related to the severity of tooth deformity. The more serious the condition, the slower the tooth movement and the longer the treatment time. Generally speaking, it takes two to three years for orthodontics, but it takes longer for adults to correct their teeth than for children. Of course, everyone's physiological situation is different, the speed of tooth movement will be different, and the correction time will be different. In some complicated cases, the process of alveolar bone reconstruction is difficult, and the correction time usually exceeds three years or even longer.
