When you’re thinking about getting adult braces, a question that often comes up is “how long will I have to wear braces?” Cosmetic orthodontic treatment is a significant commitment so it’s important to understand a timeline and get any other key questions answered before you get started. Being aware of a treatment timeline will help you plan ahead for important events, stay on top of your treatment schedule, and manage expectations as you get a beautiful smile.
Adult braces will gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. They can correct problems like minor crowding to bite issues that will help improve your smile. In the past, braces were seen as something you missed if you didn’t get them in your teenage years but that perception is fading. The advancement of modern orthodontic technology has led to more options and quicker timelines, making braces a more popular choice for adults who didn’t get straight teeth when they were younger.
6 Month Braces
One of the best cosmetic orthodontic options for adults in the Boston area is 6 Month Braces treatment at Rapid Braces. Dr. Georgaklis saw many adults shying away from long treatment times and developed the 6 Month Braces technique himself to address the issue. He approaches the end result like a cosmetic dentist to give each patient their best smile. 90% of cases are completed in 6 months or less at our Brookline office.
We also have both discrete adult braces options available for patients who don’t want to attract too much attention to their treatment. Clear braces use clear bands and brackets so the braces will blend in with your teeth and be tought to notice. Lingual braces are even tougher to see because they’re placed on the back of the teeth so they’re practically invisible. These options can be perfect for young professionals, parents, or other Boston adults hesitant to get braces because of how they might look.
