The duration of braces treatment to correct an overbite varies depending on the severity of the overbite and the individual's age and overall oral health.
Generally, it takes 18 to 30 months to fix an overbite with braces. However, some cases may require shorter or longer treatment times.
Factors that can influence the duration of treatment include:
-
Severity of the overbite: More severe overbites often require longer treatment times.
-
Age: Younger patients tend to respond to treatment faster than older patients.
-
Oral health: Good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups can help speed up treatment.
-
Cooperation with the orthodontist: Following the orthodontist's instructions and wearing the braces as directed can shorten treatment time.
It's essential to consult with an orthodontist for a personalized assessment and treatment plan. They can provide a more accurate estimate of how long braces will take to fix your overbite.
