Malocclusion of Teeth: Prognosis (Expectations)

Malocclusion is easier, quicker, and less expensive to treat when it is corrected early. Treatment is most successful in children and adolescents because their bone is still soft and teeth are moved more easily. Treatment may last 6 months to 2 or more years, depending on the severity of the case.

Treatment of orthodontic disorders in adults is often successful but may require prolonged use of braces or other devices.
