How long does Invisalign treatment take? For most people, treatment takes between 6 and 18 months. With minor cases, teeth can be corrected in as little as 6 months, while more challenging issues may take up to 1 year or more.
What factors that may influence how long your Invisalign treatment will take:
The complexity of your case: Simpler problems such as minor crowding or gaps will be solved more quickly, but more severe problems may require longer.
Age: Younger patients will get quicker results because their teeth respond faster to the treatment.
Consistency: It is important you wear your aligners for the recommended 20–22 hours a day. Missing or skipping wearing your aligners makes your treatment take longer.
Check-ups: Your checkups enable us to monitor your progress, make changes, and help you stay on schedule with your treatment.
