In Trumpet, the choice of brace type is wider than ever — the right one depends on your case, not just your preference. They work continuously and need no compliance beyond routine cleaning, which makes them dependable for complex movements. Simple cases can finish inside a year; more involved corrections run longer.

Most teenagers are best treated between 11 and 14: the adult teeth are through, yet active growth remains to be harnessed for bite correction that's far harder to achieve once growth stops.

Jaw Problems & Treatment in Trumpet

Some bite problems come from the jaws themselves, not just the teeth. Some patients in Trumpet have jaw discrepancies that can't be corrected by moving teeth alone. A photo assessment can help flag whether specialist referral is worth pursuing.
