Hello~
This is Ju-ri Lee, chief director of Bardi Dental Clinic!
When starting orthodontic treatment,
patients most often ask, "When will it be done?"
And that’s before the braces even go on, haha.
Everyone hopes it will be over quickly.
And of course, it’s exciting to imagine how you’ll look after treatment!
How long does orthodontic treatment take at an orthodontic dental clinic near Godeok Station?
Is there an answer?
I’ll explain it in this post!

Orthodontics has many variables
The reasons for starting orthodontic treatment are different for each person,
and the factors that need to be considered are different too.
Things like tooth condition, skeletal structure, age, and lifestyle habits!
That is why orthodontics requires especially high expertise in a dental clinic.
Sometimes the appliances are attached all at once, and sometimes they are attached in stages, haha.
If 10 minutes were enough to do orthodontics,
everything would be really different, haha.
People ask how long treatment will take,
and I usually say that typical orthodontic treatment takes about 1 to 2 years.
But... that is not a definitive answer.
A patient may only need partial orthodontic treatment for the front teeth,
or it could be a complicated case.
The treatment period also varies depending on the appliance...ㅠㅠ
In general, after orthodontic analysis, I might say it is expected to take a few months~!
But...
this is also something we cannot know for sure.
The patient also needs to cooperate...
and it is based on the assumption that the teeth move well.
Orthodontics is not impossible for people in their 40s and older.

These days, many people in their 40s and 50s
and even older ages get orthodontic treatment.
Because wanting to look better has nothing to do with age.
Still...
teenagers in their growth period tend to have relatively faster tooth movement.
That is because cellular movement slows down as we age,ㅠㅠ
A 50s orthodontic patient at our clinic on 230613! There are many factors to consider, such as the gums, but treatment can still be done sufficiently~
Then teenagers should have faster orthodontic treatment,
but that is not necessarily the case.
In the case of clear aligners, you have to wear the appliances properly,
and that is not easy, haha.
If you don’t wear the appliance.. there is no orthodontic effect.
Middle-aged and older patients are often very diligent about wearing at least one appliance.
Because there are so many variables,
we cannot know the orthodontic treatment period either.
But what is important here
At the orthodontic dental clinic near Godeok Station,
we pursue not speed but "accuracy"
I think it is more important to treat accurately and stably
than simply to shorten the treatment period.
A rushed treatment can increase the chance of relapse,
and may place strain on the teeth and gums.
If the tooth roots are resorbed too much and become shorter...
If the tooth roots stay the same..
but only the crown moves..
(that cannot be considered a well-done orthodontic treatment...)
That is why I prioritize accuracy over speed,
and usually explain realistically how long it may take!
The treatment period is important,
but what is even more important is the quality of treatment and patient satisfaction.
When I see patients smiling brightly after finishing orthodontic treatment at the orthodontic dental clinic near Godeok Station,
it truly makes me feel... really good.
We will continue to help create bright smiles.
Thank you!!
