Complete treatment: To create a 6 mm space on each side it requires complete orthodontic treatment. The length typically ranges from 12 - 36 months. Factors include the age, cooperation level, and growth factors of the patient. The complexity of the case may also impact the treatment time. Rec.: consult with orthodontist and oral surgeon or dentist for more accurate information.
