A Santa Clarita Orthodontist at Embrace Your Smile explains how long it can take to straighten your teeth.
Summer is here, which is officially the start of wedding season. Sometimes, during the wedding planning, some brides-to-be notice a tooth that looks out of place and rush into the orthodontist office, asking how long it will take to straighten the tooth.
The good news is there are techniques that can be used to help move the tooth that were not available before.

“One of the techniques we use is called Propel,” said an Embrace Your Smile official.
Propel is a minor surgical procedure done during orthodontic treatment that helps increase tooth movement by 30 to 40%. The orthodontist goes between each tooth to stimulate the bone, encouraging the bone to move more quickly.
“At the end of the day what I encourage all brides to do is if you know you want your teeth straightened prior to your big day, please go to your orthodontist as early as possible,” said Embrace Your Smile.
Although there are a few techniques that can be used to speed up tooth movement or with a clear or “invisible” technique such as lingual braces or Invisalign, it really does take time for the teeth to move into their desired place.
Embrace Your Smile does recommend including “orthodontist” into your wedding plans along with a DJ, photographer, and caterer so everything is covered on your big day.
