How long does it take for a tooth to move in your mouth?

The time it takes for a tooth to move in your mouth can vary depending on several factors. Generally, teeth can start to shift within a few weeks to a few months. However, the exact duration and rate of movement depend on factors such as the type of movement required, the individual's age, overall oral health, genetics, and the force applied. For some cases, orthodontic treatments may take several months or even years to achieve the desired movement. It is always recommended to consult with a dentist or orthodontist for an accurate assessment of your specific situation.
