the teeth into a corrected position. Orthodontic treatment can take anywhere from 1 year to 3 years. After orthodontic treatment is completed retainers are worn to hold the teeth in their newly corrected position.
Some orthodontic problems need to be treated in phases and others can be treated in one phase.

Age 7 is the best time to have a first visit with Dr. Cantor. At this time Dr. Cantor can determine the best course of treatment.
