A member asked:

When did you start seeing changes in teeth when you had braces?

Almost immediately: You'll be surprised that after the placement of the 1st wire, teeth begin to move quickly. Don't be surprised if after the 1st week in braces, you notice some movement.

Slowly: Orthodontics should move teeth using small continuous forces over time. It sometimes takes several months for changes in tooth position to be obvious.
