How Long Does It Take to Get Braces?

In some cases, after the "green light" is lit, starting treatment can be done within a few days.  If invisalign is the method, there is often a 3-5 week wait for the aligners to be created.

Placing the braces on someones teeth is simple and easy.  It often takes only about 20 minutes.  Every office is different so the time between your consultation and the day you actually get them glued on your teeth could be days or weeks. 

On average, to straighten someones smile AND correct their bite it takes around two years.  Smile improvements can be made in as little as six months.

Looking at your picture, be sure to ask about a retainer at the end (after braces) which is glued behind your two front teeth.

Go for it!

After you have a thorough consultation, we can get you started right away! If you are getting Invisalign, we start by getting a mold of your teeth for Invisalign to scan.  If you choose braces (traditional or clear ceramic), we can install the braces in a day or two.
