The biggest factor in keeping orthodontic treatment on schedule is following your orthodontist’s instructions closely. For braces, that means avoiding foods that could break brackets or wires, keeping up with excellent oral hygiene, and not missing adjustment appointments. For clear aligners, wearing them for the recommended 20–22 hours per day is essential; even a few hours out of the mouth daily can slow progress. Some orthodontists also offer acceleration devices or techniques that may help teeth move more efficiently, though these are case-dependent. In short, patient cooperation is the key to a smooth, timely treatment.
