No removable option quite matches the control a fixed appliance gives the clinician over each tooth. Treatment length varies with the case, but 12–24 months is the usual range.

The practices worth shortlisting in Gallin explain your options rather than pushing one, quote transparently, and make clear who will treat you and what happens if the case runs over.
