Orthodontic treatment lengths vary by individual.
Some minor treatments can be accomplished in a few months while the treatment of more severe malocclusion can require two or more years.
We do know for sure that patients can and do influence the treatment time and outcome.
Excellent cooperation including good oral hygiene and home care, avoidance of damaging hard and sticky foods and candy, regular wear of removable appliances when indicated and keeping regular appointments so that we can do what is necessary to make progress, all affect the time required to complete your orthodontic treatment.

Brackets are the "Braces" or small attachments that are bonded directly to the tooth surface.
The brackets are the part of your braces to which the orthodontist or assistant attaches the arch wire.
At some time during treatment, it may be necessary to wear elastics to coordinate the upper and lower teeth and perfect the bite.
Once teeth begin to move in response to elastics, they move rapidly and comfortably.
If elastics (rubber bands) are worn intermittently, they will continually "shock" the teeth and cause more soreness.
