“How long will I have braces?” is one of our most common questions.
While every patient is different, comprehensive orthodontic treatment in our practice is often around 18 months.
Treatment can be shorter or longer depending on your bite, the movements your teeth require, patient cooperation, and whether additional appliances are needed.
Dr. Canepa carefully plans each stage of treatment with the goal of moving treatment forward efficiently while maintaining a high standard for the final result.
