Wire braces tend to be more efficient than plastic a-liners such as Invisalign. Treatment can be a few months to several years.
It all depends on the type of wires and how difficult the case is. Usually anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.
Usually braces take between 1 to 3 years depending on the type of the malocclusion, patient’s age and cooperation.
18-24 months usually.
Thank you for your question. Depending on the severity of the case adult braces could take somewhere between 3 months to 2-3 years. It depends on whether it's simple crowding or severe crowding and/or crossbite.
