? How long does it usually take to wear braces to correct teeth?

The beauty of teeth often affects people's overall image and has a certain impact on self-confidence. Therefore, it is generally necessary to wear braces to improve the performance of this deformed tooth.

a

Generally speaking, it takes about 1 to 5 years to remove braces, which is related to the type of jaw or tooth deformity that patients need to correct, the degree of cooperation of patients and the treatment methods they choose.

Braces are fixed appliances. The wearing time depends on the patient's age and the difficulty of orthodontics. Generally speaking, the correction time for children is about 1-2 years. The correction time for adults is about 3-4 years.

Wear braces for at least 2 years. Later, after the fixed braces are removed, the teeth need to be maintained to avoid rebound. Theoretically, the retainer is worn for life, first every day, then in the morning and evening.

The time required for orthodontic brackets is determined by the severity and age of malocclusion. If malocclusion is simple and young, it will usually end in 1 year.

How long the retainer is worn after orthodontics varies from person to person, and some patients need shorter retainers.

For some cases that are easy to recur, it is recommended to keep them permanently, such as periodontal orthodontic patients. With the increase of age, teeth will loosen and shift when they are forty or fifty years old. Restoring to the original position through orthodontics requires a long retention period and requires permanent retention.

Most orthodontics usually lasts 1 to about 2 years.

c

If the malocclusion is serious and older, it will take a long time to correct it, because after all, the jaw has grown up and the teeth can't move in the jaw with too much force, so adults and complex malocclusion need a long time to correct it, usually about two and a half years, and some even longer.
