How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment length depends on the planned tooth movement, your bite, and how consistently you follow the wear instructions. An evaluation is needed before the dentist can discuss a timeline for your case.
Clear aligners
Invisalign uses a planned series of removable clear aligners to move teeth over time. An evaluation shows whether your alignment and bite are a good fit and gives you a clearer picture of the treatment sequence.
A clear path forward
The dentist reviews your teeth, bite, goals, and oral health to see whether clear aligners are appropriate.
You will understand the proposed tooth movement, expected responsibilities, and follow-up schedule before starting.
You change aligners as directed and return for checks so the team can monitor movement and fit.
