Correcting an overbite often involves wearing rubber bands, but the duration varies. Typically, you may need to wear rubber bands for several months to more than a year, depending on your specific dental needs. Here are a few factors that influence the timeline:
- Severity of Overbite: More severe cases may require extended wear.
- Consistency: Wearing rubber bands consistently as directed can expedite progress.
- Orthodontist’s Plan: Follow your orthodontist’s tailored treatment plan.
Consult with your orthodontist regularly to monitor progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed. Adherence to prescribed instructions ensures effective correction in the shortest possible time.
