How long Invisalign® treatment takes varies widely and is based on your needs. The best way to know what to expect with Invisalign is to schedule an appointment with Dr. Rosete at Alum Hills Dental. However, typical treatment times are between 12 and 18 months for adults.
Factors That Affect Invisalign Treatment Times
The exact timeline for your Invisalign treatment depends on several factors. The complexity of your alignment or bite issue, specific corrections needed, and how consistently you wear your aligners all impact the length of Invisalign treatment.
Generally, the more complex the dental issue, the longer treatment will take. The good news is that you may notice subtle improvements in your teeth’s alignment in just a matter of weeks!
Wear Your Aligners as Recommended
For Invisalign aligners to work their magic as effectively as possible, you need to wear them 20–22 hours daily and only remove them for meals and oral hygiene. Regular check-ins with Dr. Rosete will help ensure your treatment progresses as expected.
Invisalign offers a more aesthetic and comfortable way to straighten teeth, but patience is key. The gentle, gradual tooth movement created by clear aligners ensures the process is effective and comfortable.
