How much time do you have to keep the thing the orthodontist puts in your mouth to stop your tongue from touching or pushing on your teeth?

Ask: Treatment philosophies differ. You'll have to ask your orthodontic specialist exactly what he/she has panned for you. It can take nine months to a year to retrain neuromuscular patterns.
