There is a great difference between adults and minors in orthodontics. Generally speaking, the orthodontic time for adolescents is 1-2 years, and that for adults is about one year.

2. Oral condition

If the dental condition is complicated, it will take longer to correct than others, and it may be necessary to wear dental retainers for life.

3. Orthodontic methods
