Ask Dr. Cram: "How long will my orthodontic treatment last?"

Your treatment time at Red Deer Orthodontics typically ranges from one to three years, depending on the growth of your mouth and face and the severity of the problem. Dr. Cram will tell you that patients grow at different rates and will respond variously to orthodontic treatment, so the time to case completion may differ from the original estimate. Diligent use of any prescribed elastics or appliances is an important factor in achieving the most efficient treatment. Interceptive, or early treatment procedures, may take as few as six months.

If you have any questions about your orthodontic treatment at Red Deer Orthodontics, please feel free to ask Dr. Cram during your next visit or give our office a call!
