How long will treatment last?

There are a number of factors that determine how long you will wear braces, but in most cases you'll be ready to show off your new smile in about 18-24 months. And with today's modern orthodontic appliances, treatment is getting faster—and easier—all the time.

Braces are used to straighten your teeth gradually, not overnight, so a little patience is needed. Just remember, any discomfort you may feel will be brief.

Your beautiful, healthy smile, however, will last a lifetime.
