On average, Invisalign treatment takes 12 to 18 months to achieve the desired results. However, some patients may start seeing improvements in just a few weeks. The length of treatment depends on several factors, including the complexity of your case and how well you follow your treatment plan.
What Can Affect Invisalign Treatment Time?
While Invisalign clear aligners are an excellent option for straightening teeth, certain dental issues can extend treatment time, such as:
- Severe Misalignment – More complex cases may require additional aligners and time to shift teeth gradually into the desired positions.
- Bite Issues – Overbites, underbites, and crossbites may take longer to correct than simple crowding or spacing issues.
- Inconsistent Wear – Not wearing your aligners for the recommended 20-22 hours per day can slow progress significantly.
Tips to Keep Your Invisalign Treatment on Track
- Wear your aligners as instructed for at least 20-22 hours daily.
- Keep up with your scheduled check-ins at Toronto Lakeshore Dental in Etobicoke.
- Clean your aligners properly to avoid delays due to hygiene-related issues.
- Switch to your next set of aligners on schedule, as directed by your dentist.
