How many days does you take to put on braces?

It typically takes an hour or two for an orthodontist to place braces on your teeth. The actual bonding process takes only a few minutes per tooth, but the orthodontist will also need to take time to:

- Examine your teeth and gums.

- Clean your teeth thoroughly.

- Dry your teeth completely.

- Apply adhesive to your teeth.

- Position the brackets on your teeth and bond them in place.

- Trim any excess adhesive.

- Check your bite to make sure that the braces are properly aligned.

You may experience some discomfort after your braces are put on, but this should only last for a few days.
