A member asked:
Can mild bimaxillary protrusion be corrected with braces and if so how long is the average time needed for them to be corrected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Orthodontic Consult: Your best bet to have your questions answered is to see a local orthodontist, someone who can actually treat you. Moving teeth is only part of the process.. lip support, profile, and a stable result need to also be considered. Malocclusions can be either dental or skeletal in nature, and each will require different treatment times.
