A member asked:

I'm wondering how long does it take to put on the braces?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on problem: No two people are exactly alike. No two orthodontists are exactly alike. Some orthodontists (like me) prefer to do a complete "strap-up" in one visit. Other orthodontists divide braces placement into two or more visits. Ask your orthodontic specialist this question. He/she will have an answered tailored to your individual needs.
