Frequently asked questions
Orthodontics: your questions
How long does treatment with aligners take?
Depending on the situation, from a few months to about a year and a half. The exact duration is set after the assessment.
Can adults have orthodontic treatment?
Yes. Teeth can be moved at any age if the gums and bone are healthy; adults often choose aligners because they are discreet.
At what age should a child have a first assessment?
A first opinion at around 7 or 8 years old helps spot a jaw problem early, even though treatment often starts later.
Are aligners visible?
Barely: they are clear trays, worn about 22 hours a day and taken out to eat.
