What Is The Possible Duration Of Time Required For Movement Of Teeth On Using Braces?
My 13 year old daughter has a tooth in the back of the rest of her teeth. It's her upper second tooth. There's no gap for it to move in because the canine is blocking it. Her orthodontist said braces would fix it, but I was wondering how long braces would take to move it up

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the movement of the teeth can be done with the help of braces. the duration of the treatment varies from 1year to 2years depending upon the difficulty of the case. the teeth cant be moved abruptly, it has to be moved slowly and after moving the teeth the teeth has to be retained in that position with the help of retainers. i hope my answer will help you. take care
