After Having Orthodontic Treatment, I Was Wondering How Long It Takes For Adult Teeth To Come Through?
Q.
Hi, Dr Shaffie, I’d like to mention that I had a first set of three teeth extracted on July 17th and another set of three extracted on August 13th. I had one baby tooth either side which were both taken out. Then on the 20th August I went to my orthodontic practice to have a fixed brace on my lower set of teeth and in about three months time I will be having a fixed brace on my upper set of teeth. The reason I never had a fixed brace on my upper set is that I have an adult tooth growing either side where the baby teeth were and I have to wait for them to come through enough to have a fixed brace on my upper set. So I was just wondering how long it would take for them two adult teeth to pierce through? Thanks, I hope you can help me out with this.

Hello. I would say based on the information that you’ve provided that It depends how far they are in the gum and I would guess you’re looking at around 6 months time. Thank you for your question and I hope this helps. Best wishes, Dr Hussein Shaffie.
