In general, adult orthodontic treatment with braces may take slightly longer than treatment for children or teenagers. This is because adult teeth are more firmly set in the jawbone, which can make it slightly more challenging to achieve desired tooth movements. However, the duration of treatment will ultimately depend on the specific needs and circumstances of each individual case.
