How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Usually Take?

Hi, I’m Dr. Alistair King from Central Coast Orthodontics.

Curious about how long it will take to achieve your dream smile? Let’s break it down for you!

The length of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case, the type of treatment, and how well you follow your orthodontist’s recommendations. On average most orthodontic treatments, whether with braces or clear aligners, take about 12 to 24 months.

For simpler cases, treatment may be shorter, while more complex issues, like severe crowding or bite corrections, might take a little longer. During your consultation, we’ll create a customised treatment plan and give you an estimated time frame for treatment.

Staying consistent with your appointments and following all care instructions—like wearing aligners as directed or avoiding foods that can damage braces—can help keep your treatment on track.

Every smile is different, and we’re committed to helping you achieve yours as efficiently as possible.
