1. Compliance isn't happening at home.
Treatment drastically slows down if your not: wearing your rubber bands, coming in for your adjustments on time or if you're breaking brackets and wires frequently.
2. Your bite still needs correcting.
The front teeth may look perfectly straight, but the primary focus of braces is to pull your teeth in the correct position so you can bite and chew. These changes may go unnoticed by yo
u but if a tooth is even a few millimeters out of position, over time, it can create uneven wear. This results in, shortening of teeth, cracking of teeth and even chipping or breaking.
3. You're an Adult
Braces on adults take longer because the bone supporting the teeth isn't as responsive to change as when you were younger and still growing.
4. Your teeth and bite need a lot of correcting.
Cross-bites, over-bites, under-bites and severe crowding take longer to correct and straighten out.
The fastest way to get your braces off is controlling what you can: wear your rubber bands, brush your teeth and come in for your appointments. The rest we will take care of and communicate with you if there a any delays in treatment.
