While the answer to this question varies significantly by each patient's needs, non-extraction orthodontic treatment can sometimes require less time because you don't have to wait for healing or for the time it takes to close the spaces left by tooth extraction.
However, with that said, treatment timelines are based on the patient's unique needs and the complexity of their case. So there may be cases where treatment takes longer.
Dr Darby believes that every tooth has an important job to do, and we should avoid tooth extraction whenever possible. He is dedicated to providing effective and worry-free non-extraction orthodontics in Prahran.
