How long does orthodontic treatment take?

The length of your orthodontic treatment will depend on your individual treatment plan and goals. During your consultation with Dr. Yang, we will discuss your options.

Which orthodontic treatment works the fastest?

Many clear aligners can yield rapid results for patients with minimal malocclusions, but traditional braces are also an effective option. Teeth must be moved slowly to prevent damage to the tooth roots. Strict compliance with your prescribed treatment plan will keep the timing on track.
