Varies: It depends on the amount of tooth movement necessary. The orthodontist providing the treatment should have a better idea of the time frame since s/he knows the case better than anyone on the healthtap panel.

See an orthodontist: Get your educated opinion relying on the orthodontist’s expertise, which comes from their extensive education. After graduating from dental school, orthodontists get 2-3 more years of education just in orthodontics at an accredited orthodontic residency program. Consult an orthodontist for diagnosis, prognosis and time frame.

Snowflakes: Malocclusions are like snowflakes, no 2 are exactly alike. Is open bite dental, skeletal, both? Do you have palatal constriction? Is there crowding/spacing/rotations? See a qualified Orthodontic Specialist for initial examination (usually free or modest cost) for the best answer to your question as it pertains to your unique problem set.
