4 MAIN STAGES OF THE COSMETIC BRACES PROCESS
The orthodontic treatment time may vary faster or slower depending on the condition of the jawbone, teeth, and problems of each different customer. In addition, orthodontics combined with porcelain teeth restorations takes about 1 year to complete. Doctors also say that braces usually include 4 stages:
Stage I: From 2 – 6 months, this is the time to arrange the teeth evenly on both jaws.
Stage II: From 3 – 6 months, this is the stage when the doctor adjusts and aligns the tooth axis.
Stage III: From 6 – 9 months, this is the stage when the doctor adjusts the entire bite
Stage IV: From 6 – 9 months, the final stage of completion has finally arrived. During this time, the teeth have been aligned and need to maintain stability.
More specifically, for customers with difficult conditions such as overbite, underbite, crooked teeth, etc., the braces time will be longer. It can be said that the braces solution also directly affects the braces process. For example, braces using metal braces, although not ensuring aesthetics, have quite good pulling force, helping the braces process to be faster and are applied to difficult cases that require a lot of jaw adjustment.
