How long does Invisalign® take?

Treatment times with Invisalign vary by patient and depend on the complexity of their orthodontic needs. Invisalign treatment may last several months or longer than 2 years, with 18 months being typical.

Invisalign starts with a consultation, which includes:

  • Orthodontic Assessment: An assessment to ensure Invisalign is a suitable option
  • Smile Goals Discussion: A conversation where you share your smile goals
  • Shared Information: A discussion on costs and how long you’ll be in treatment

Your comprehensive consultation determines your treatment timeline.

How Invisalign Clear Aligners Work

Invisalign is a system of clear aligners worn over the teeth. You wear the first aligners for approximately two weeks before moving on to the next. Over the course of the treatment, you’ll notice your teeth moving into straighter positions.

At the end of treatment, we fit you with a custom retainer to prevent orthodontic relapse.  

Invisalign clear aligners can discreetly correct the following orthodontic issues:

  • Overlapping, Twisted, Crowded, and Crooked Teeth
  • Gaps or Unusual Spacing Between Teeth
  • Bite Misalignment, Including Overbite
