Orthodontic Treatment Time

• The orthodontic treatment time varies
  significantly from one patient to another. In
  most cases, the treatment time is determined by
  the complexity of the treatment, age, and
  individual needs. If a few teeth need slight
  straightening, then the patient treatment can be
  finished within 6-12 months. But, a complicated
  case with multiple issues can take approx two
  years.

How Does Orthodontic Treatment Work?
How Orthodontic Treatment Work

• During the Orthodontic treatment, our Redwood
  City Orthodontist Dr. Ho will do a thorough oral
  examination. Based on the examination, a CBCT
  scan, facial photograph, and digital impression
  are taken to evaluate the condition of your oral
  health.
• Once the evaluation is done, steady pressure is
  applied to the teeth to move them into their
  correct position. Our Redwood City Orthodontist fo
  cuses on straightening the teeth into an
  aesthetically pleasing smile and aligning the jaw
  for optimal chewing.

Factors to Consider For an Orthodontic Treatment
Factors for Orthodontic Treatment

• Type of Treatment Due to advances in dental
  technology, there are several options available
  like metal braces and ceramic braces.
• Age Age also matters in orthodontic treatment,
  as a young patient tend to get the results faster
  than adults because their jaw is still growing,
  making the teeth easier to manipulate.
• The Severity of The Case It's the most important
  factor to consider, a mild spacing or crowding
  can be fixed in a year, while severe cases take
  much longer.
