I'm going to consultation tomorrow. I want to know how long after consultation does it take to get braces how many appointments?

The length of time between your consultation visit and your treatment start can vary greatly depending on the size and busyness of the office and appointment availability. Usually expect a range of 1-14 days. It will take 1-2 visits.

How long it takes to get started depends on the condition of your teeth and the office. As far as condition of your teeth is concerned, the orthodontist will want to make sure that you have no cavities or active periodontal disease present. If it is a multi-disciplinary case (missing teeth, skeletal issues), the orthodontist may wish to take records and have you go for consultations with other specialists first before putting braces on. As far as the office is concerned, depending on the size (number of chairs) and flow (scheduling) of the office, it may be possible to take records and put braces on the same day.
