How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Take
Orthodontic treatment length depends on several factors, including the severity of misalignment, type of treatment, patient age, and consistency in following care instructions. Braces typically take 18 to 24 months, while clear aligners often range from 12 to 18 months, with some cases completed in as little as 6 months. Complex cases may require more time, and regular check-ins ensure everything stays on track. At Lightning Orthodontics, we customize every treatment plan to help you achieve your best smile as efficiently as possible.
