How long do braces last to fix overbite?

Braces treatment for an overbite usually takes around 12–24 months, although the exact duration varies from person to person. Mild cases may take less time, while complex bite problems can require longer treatment.

What Affects Treatment Time?

1. Severity of the Overbite
A deeper overbite may require more time to correct the relationship between the upper and lower teeth.
2. Tooth Alignment
Crowding, spacing, or rotated teeth can add to the overall treatment duration.
3. Bite Correction
If the overbite involves more than tooth positioning, additional orthodontic steps may be needed.
4. Treatment Response
Teeth move at different rates, so regular adjustments and following your orthodontist's instructions can influence progress.
5. Retainers After Braces
Once active treatment is complete, retainers help maintain the corrected tooth positions and reduce the chance of shifting.

At Lotus Dental Care, Dr. Ramya can evaluate your bite and teeth alignment and provide a personalized estimate for braces treatment.
