\nTreatment Duration with Braces<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
Treatment Duration with Braces<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\nIn orthodontics<\/a>, a distinction is made between active treatment, during which the teeth are moved with braces, and the subsequent retention<\/a> phase, during which the teeth are stabilised in their new positions.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe duration of active treatment depends on the treatment task: merely straightening two rotated incisors can be achieved in three months, while comprehensive active treatment usually takes one to two years, in a few individual cases even longer. Active treatment times of more than two years should only occur in a few exceptional cases with good treatment planning.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nIn a well-organised, modern practice, an average treatment time of about 18 months is achievable for children and adolescents, i.e. a little more than one and a half years. In contrast, the average treatment time in Germany is between 3 and 4 years, i.e. about twice that. This is mainly due to the widespread use of often pointless and ineffective removable braces. Another reason is that treatments are often started far too early, at primary school age. The scientifically justified standard, on the other hand, is to start most treatments only when the change of teeth is connected, i.e. at the age of 10-12.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nA reasonable average treatment time for aesthetic treatments of the anterior teeth in adults is 8 months, i.e. well under a year. Here, too, the usual treatment times in Germany are unfortunately often much longer. Comprehensive adult treatments with bite correction, tooth extractions or other complex measures take on average about 18-24 months with reasonable treatment planning.<\/div>\n
