This timeline may vary depending on the severity of tooth misalignment, bite condition, age, oral health, and each person\u2019s biological response.<\/p><p>In orthodontics, teeth do not move immediately. They shift gradually under the force created by brackets, archwires, or clear aligners. As the teeth move, the alveolar bone around the tooth roots also needs time to resorb on one side and form new bone on the other side. Therefore, the dentist must control orthodontic force at an appropriate level so the teeth can move safely, helping reduce soreness, root resorption, gum recession, or damage to the surrounding periodontal tissues.<\/p><p>Normally, the braces process is divided into 4 main stages:<\/p><ul><li>Stage I, from 2 to 6 months: The dentist begins aligning the teeth on the dental arch, improving crowding, rotated teeth, or teeth that have erupted in the wrong position. This stage helps make the dental arch more even and creates a foundation for the next adjustment steps.<\/li><li>Stage II, from 3 to 6 months: The teeth continue to be adjusted into a more proper axis. At this stage, the dentist controls the angulation, rotation, and position of each tooth to ensure that the teeth are not only visually aligned but also functionally correct.<\/li><li>Stage III, from 6 to 9 months: This stage focuses on adjusting the bite between the two jaws. The dentist brings the upper and lower teeth into a proper relationship, helping improve chewing function and reduce issues such as crossbite, deep bite, open bite, protrusion, or underbite, depending on each case.<\/li><li>Stage IV, from 3 to 6 months: The dentist finalizes the tooth positions and bite before removing the braces. After the orthodontic appliances are removed, the patient needs to wear retainers as instructed to help the teeth stabilize in their new positions and reduce the risk of teeth shifting back.<\/li><\/ul><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-29324 size-full\" title=\"Qu\u00e1 tr\u00ecnh ni\u1ec1ng r\u0103ng m\u1ea5t bao l\u00e2u th\u00ec xong?\" src=\"https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Thoi-gian-nieng-rang-mat-bao-lau-thi-co-ket-qua.jpg\" alt=\"Qu\u00e1 tr\u00ecnh ni\u1ec1ng r\u0103ng m\u1ea5t bao l\u00e2u th\u00ec xong?\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Thoi-gian-nieng-rang-mat-bao-lau-thi-co-ket-qua.jpg 900w, https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Thoi-gian-nieng-rang-mat-bao-lau-thi-co-ket-qua-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Thoi-gian-nieng-rang-mat-bao-lau-thi-co-ket-qua-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0f99db2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0f99db2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><b>&gt;&gt;&gt; READ MORE: <a style=\"color: #003366;\" href=\"https:\/\/smilux.vn\/en\/how-long-does-single-arch-braces-take\/\">How Long Does Single-Arch Braces Take<\/a>?

However, at each age, the teeth and jawbone respond differently to orthodontic force, so the braces timeline can vary.<\/p><p>Children and teenagers often have a more favorable braces timeline because their jawbone is still developing and their teeth tend to respond better to orthodontic force. From 8 to 10 years old, braces for children usually take about 6 months to 1 year. For children aged 10 to 12, the braces process usually takes around 1 year, depending on the severity of tooth misalignment and the bite condition of each child.<\/p><p>Adults usually need about 1 to 3 years to complete the braces process. For mild misalignment, the timeline may be around 1 to 1.5 years. If the patient has severe protrusion, underbite, significant crowding, or requires jaw surgery, orthodontic care may take from 2 to 3 years. Since the jawbone in adults has fully developed and stabilized, teeth often move more slowly compared with children and teenagers. In addition, if there are cavities, gingivitis, or periodontitis, the dentist needs to stabilize these conditions before braces, which may extend the overall timeline by about 2 to 4 weeks.<\/p><p>Older adults may need 6 to 12 months longer to complete the braces process compared with younger patients who have the same level of misalignment. This is because jawbone density is higher, bone remodeling is slower, and the tissues around the teeth are more sensitive to orthodontic force. In particular, if there is alveolar bone loss or periodontal disease, the dentist needs to use gentle force and closely monitor tooth movement to ensure safety.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-02e0026 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"02e0026\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><b>&gt;&gt;&gt; READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/smilux.vn\/en\/how-long-should-you-wear-retainers-after-braces\/\">How Long Should You Wear Retainers After Braces?<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5534acf1 at-heading-animation at-animation-heading-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5534acf1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Complexity of Tooth Misalignment<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f395137 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1f395137\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The condition of the teeth is a direct factor that affects how long it takes to complete the braces process. In general, orthodontic cases are divided into 3 levels, from mild to severe, each corresponding to a different timeline. Specifically:<\/p><p>For mild tooth misalignment, a relatively stable bite, and cases that do not require tooth extraction or complex procedures, the braces process usually takes about 14 to 18 months. This group often includes small gaps between teeth, slightly rotated teeth, or teeth that are mildly out of their ideal positions.<\/p><p>For moderate protrusion or underbite, the braces process usually lasts about 18 to 24 months. At this stage, the upper front teeth or lower jaw teeth may protrude more than normal, and the bite misalignment is at a moderate level. Some cases may require premolar extraction to create space, allowing the dentist to move the teeth into proper positions and improve the relationship between the two jaws.<\/p><p>For severe protrusion, underbite, significant crowding, or serious bite misalignment, the braces process may take 24 to 36 months or longer. If the misalignment is caused by jawbone issues, the dentist may recommend combining braces with jaw surgery before or during orthodontic care.

Metal braces are highly durable and suitable for many dental conditions, but they are less aesthetic. Ceramic braces have a color similar to natural teeth, making them more aesthetic, but they are more fragile and larger in size. The timeline for traditional braces usually lasts about 1 to 2 years.<\/li><li>Clear aligners: This method uses transparent aligner trays that can be removed when eating, drinking, and cleaning the teeth. The aligners fit closely over the teeth and apply gentle force to move them according to the dentist\u2019s plan.

These foods may cause brackets to come loose, archwires to bend, or increase the risk of tooth decay.<\/li><li>Clean your teeth thoroughly every day: Poor oral hygiene can cause plaque to build up around the brackets, leading to tooth decay, gingivitis, or bad breath. In some cases of severe gum inflammation, the dentist may need to manage the inflammation before continuing orthodontic care. Therefore, you should brush your teeth properly after eating and use dental floss, interdental brushes, or a water flosser to clean around the brackets and between the teeth.<\/li><li>Follow the dentist\u2019s instructions: You need to wear elastics, take care of your orthodontic appliances, and follow the dentist\u2019s guidance properly. Removing appliances on your own, wearing them for the wrong amount of time, or not using them as instructed can slow down the braces progress.<\/li><li>Attend follow-up appointments on schedule: Regular check-ups allow the dentist to monitor tooth movement, adjust orthodontic force, and detect problems early, such as loose brackets, gingivitis, or tooth decay. If you miss appointments repeatedly, the orthodontic process may be interrupted and take longer than expected.<\/li><li>Maintain adequate nutrition: A balanced diet helps keep the teeth, gums, and jawbone healthy throughout the braces process. You should choose soft, easy-to-chew foods that are rich in vitamins, minerals, calcium, and protein. Poor nutrition or significant weight loss during the braces process may affect overall health and the response of the tissues around the teeth.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ea17b4a at-heading-animation at-animation-heading-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ea17b4a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Safely Shorten the Braces Timeline with BioLight Technology at Smilux<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e238e92 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7e238e92\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>How long it takes to complete the braces process is always a concern for many patients, as a long orthodontic timeline can cause inconvenience in eating, daily activities, and communication. Understanding this, Smilux Dental applies BioLight biological orthodontic technology to support gentle tooth movement, help optimize orthodontic progress, and shorten the braces timeline.<\/p><p>So what makes <a href=\"https:\/\/smilux.vn\/en\/biolight-technology\/\"><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><b>BioLight braces<\/b><\/span><\/a> at Smilux Dental different? Below are the key advantages of this technology:<\/p><ul><li>Supports a shorter braces timeline: BioLight technology uses biological light to support the remodeling process of the alveolar bone, helping teeth move more smoothly and stably according to the dentist\u2019s plan. As a result, the orthodontic process may progress faster, helping shorten the braces timeline by up to 50%.<\/li><li>Reduces soreness during orthodontic care: During the braces process, soreness or sensitivity often appears after each tightening or force adjustment. BioLight supports the tissues around the teeth in adapting better to orthodontic force, helping patients feel more comfortable, especially in the early stage when the teeth begin to move.<\/li><li>Limits impact on the bone, gums, and tooth enamel: Instead of relying only on mechanical pulling force on the teeth, BioLight technology supports tooth movement in a more biological direction. This helps reduce pressure on the periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, and gum tissues, thereby limiting the risk of damage throughout the orthodontic process.<\/li><li>Helps maintain results after braces are removed: After orthodontic care is completed, the teeth need time to stabilize in their new positions. Supporting the tissues around the teeth and the alveolar bone throughout the braces process may help maintain the results after braces are removed. However, patients still need to wear retainers as instructed to reduce the risk of teeth shifting back.<\/li><\/ul><figure id=\"attachment_16968\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16968\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16968 size-full\" title=\"BioLight Technology\" src=\"https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Thumb-BioLight-Technology.jpg\" alt=\"Thumb BioLight Technology\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Thumb-BioLight-Technology.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Thumb-BioLight-Technology-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Thumb-BioLight-Technology-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Thumb-BioLight-Technology-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Thumb-BioLight-Technology-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16968\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BioLight Technology<\/figcaption><\/figure>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46671a6c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"46671a6c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>If you are concerned about pain, a long braces timeline, or possible effects on your gums and jawbone, BioLight at Smilux Dental International Clinic is a worthwhile option to consider for a gentler orthodontic process.
