How Long Does Adult Teeth Straightening Take? Dr.Clear Aligner Explains

The duration of adult orthodontic treatment varies depending on the severity of the malocclusion, the type of appliance selected, and the treatment plan designed. Therefore, treatment time alone should not be used to measure the effectiveness of teeth straightening. Generally speaking, non-extraction orthodontic treatment takes about one to one and a half years. Extraction treatment typically takes one and a half to two years, and in some cases up to two and a half years, depending mainly on the patient's needs and specific conditions. Patient compliance is also a key factor affecting treatment duration, as is the experience of the doctor—there is a difference between experienced and less experienced practitioners.
