Treatment Planning

How Orthodontic Treatment Works

Because of teeth imperfections, many people may need braces to straighten or fix their teeth. Common teeth problems include overcrowded, misaligned, and crooked teeth. Kids, teens, and adults of all ages use braces to correct cosmetic defects, prevent increased misalignment, and reduce the risk of oral disease. Vakani Orthodontics offers free initial examinations, multiple treatment options, flexible payment plans and accepts most dental insurance plans.

Duration of Treatment

Treatment time typically ranges from one to two years, depending on the growth of the patient’s mouth and face and the severity of the problem. Patients grow at different rates and will respond differently to orthodontic treatment, so the time to case completion may be longer or shorter than the original estimate. The patient’s diligent use of any prescribed rubber bands and good oral hygiene are important factors in achieving the most efficient treatment. Interceptive, or early treatment procedures, may take as few as six months.
