Orthodontic devices might be made from metal, ceramic, or plastic. They can be removable or firmly attached to your teeth with brackets. These appliances apply gentle, steady pressure to move your teeth into the ideal position over time.
You might notice that modern braces are much different than the traditional metal bands once used around each tooth. Today, you can pick clear or metal brackets, sometimes even customize colors. The wires are more discreet, and new materials help move teeth faster with greater comfort. And the best part? Orthodontics is suitable for all ages!
Duration of Treatment
Treatment lengths vary widely, typically ranging from one to three years. Factors like age, the technique used, and how complex your case is all play a role. But a big part of success depends on you! Staying engaged and following your care plan helps speed things along. For kids, early or interceptive treatment often means shorter overall time.
Before starting, your doctor at Align Orthodontics Lexington will review all your options and provide an estimated treatment timeline. Feel free to contact us at (781) 860-7997 or use /appointments/ to learn more about your orthodontic care.
