Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint Orthodontic Treatment and its outcome depends upon the age of the patient and severity of the misalignment of the teeth. The results of the treatment comes faster in patients who get the treatment done in between the age groups of around 14 years to 21 years which is an approximate figure and the results are delayed after 5 years of age as most of the growth and development is complete by 25 years of age. At at average the Fixed Orthodontic Treatment is carried on for a period of around 1.5 years with a relaxation of a few months more or less. The empty spaces opened up after extraction will start to get closed soon as there will not be dense bone in that area and the tooth movement will take faster in that area. You need not worry and cooperate with your Orthodontist as the results of treatment will be making a permanent improvement in your appearance and make you look aesthetically better. Hope this information helps. If you find the answer helpful please give me a Five-Star Review and click on found the answer helpful as a token of appreciation. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor. .
