How long will it take to correct my overbite?
The length of time for treatment will depend on the severity of the overbite and the age of the patient. If traditional braces are recommended, younger patients will wear braces for 18 months to 2 years. Adults can expect to wear braces for up to 3 years.
If that time frame is a bit daunting, there is an option that can accomplish overbite correction in far less time.
Dr. Maddahi has developed a process more attuned to his adult clients, which can replace the need for braces which drastically reduces the time needed to correct overbite. Using premium porcelain veneers and crowns to reshape the teeth, he restores balance and alignment, which not only is aesthetically pleasing, but corrects the functional defects created by overbite and misalignment. Not everyone is a candidate for his innovative anti-aging dentistry solution; the degree of correction needed is the determining factor.
