Is there any way to get my braces off faster?

Orthodontics: Orthodontic treatment in adults is a slower process than children. Unfortunately, there's no way to expedite the treatment process.

Yes: The best way is with excellent compliance; keep your teeth very clean, do not eat anything that will break brackets or distort wires, and wear rubber bands exactly as prescribed by your orthodontist. Good luck!

Follow instructions: Compliance is king in determining the rate of orthodontic treatment. Follow all prescribed directions, make all of your appointments, keep braces meticulously clean, follow-up with regular visits at your family dentist, watch what you eat - avoid hard and sticky foods, wear your elastics, headgear, or other devices exactly as instructed.

Maybe: If you follow the instructions of your orthodontist exactly you will get your braces off as fast as it is possible. This means: keep all your appointments, don't break your brackets off on crunchy foods, wear your elastics when told to, and maintain excellent oral hygiene.

Hygene &rubber bands: Health gums help teeth move faster. Wearing rubber bands when requested to do so will help the orthodontist get the movement they are looking for-- wear them 24x7.

Best way: Keep mouth immaculately clean, don't damage braces, & follow all instructions to the letter. Know that there are surgical techniques to alter the bone around your teeth, this allowing modest to moderate time reduction. Talk to a qualified Orthodontic Specialist about the procedures.
