Braces is a method of using specialized appliances such as brackets, archwires, elastic bands... to move teeth to the desired position. The process usually lasts from 1 to 3 years, depending on the complexity of the case.
After getting braces for the first few days, you may feel a little stuck and have slight pain, but after a short time you will feel normal.
Orthodontists move teeth slowly, maximum 1mm/month, so it will not cause pain
Depending on the degree of tooth misalignment and bite, the doctor will advise whether braces should be applied to 1 jaw or 2 jaws. Because the teeth are misaligned and the bite is very misaligned, the doctor needs to brace both jaws to adjust the natural physiological bite.
The average treatment time is 1.5 - 2 years. Due to body physiology, each tooth can only move a maximum of 1mm/month. If it moves more, the bone will be irreversibly destroyed.
