- Myth: orthodontic treatment always takes several years.
- Fact: treatment requires careful, controlled movements of the teeth to ensure they are moving into proper positions. From simple cases (which may take a few months to treat) to the most complex cases (which could take longer), your AAO orthodontist has the training, experience, and skill to deliver an excellent result in the shortest amount of time. It’s not worth the risk to have someone who attempts to do orthodontics as a side business because of the possible irreversible damage that could occur.
- Myth: orthodontic treatment is purely cosmetic.
- Fact: there’s so much more to orthodontic treatment than meets the eye! An improved appearance is the most obvious result. But when teeth and jaws are aligned, it means function (biting, chewing, speaking) is improved too – a dual treatment benefit.
