Braces are typically adjusted every three to six weeks. This helps shift the teeth into the correct position. When they get adjusted, the orthodontist removes the colored or metal ligatures keeping the archwire in place. The archwire is then removed, and may be replaced or modified.
How long will I have to wear the brace? It really depends on how much work there is to do and how far your teeth need to be moved. Fixed braces - usually take between 12 and 24 months, but could take longer if the problem is severe. Removable braces - usually take less time than a fixed brace. However, you might need to wear a removable brace before and after you have finished your treatment with a fixed brace. Your dental team or orthodontist will be able to give you advice about your brace and teeth. If you don't do what they say, the brace can take longer to work and the treatment may be unsuccessful.
