How Long Does It Take to Straighten Your Teeth with Invisalign?

Now that you know you need orthodontic care, you are probably wondering, “How long does it take to straighten your teeth with Invisalign?” The length of time it takes for Invisalign to finish aligning your teeth mostly depends on a couple of factors.

Invisalign Aligners Are Removeable

One of the attractive features of Invisalign is the aligners can be removed. It is helpful to be able to remove the aligners while eating and to brush the teeth and clean the aligner. However, forgetting to wear the aligner could add up to extended treatment time. Invisalign should be worn around 22-23 hours each day to be highly effective.

Invisalign and Closing Gaps

Teeth will move up to 0.2 millimeters with each Invisalign aligner. This amount of movement means a small gap would take not take nearly as much time to close as a more significant gap. Also, it is essential to remember as gaps close in one area, the movement of the teeth happens elsewhere in the mouth. Therefore, it could take three to six months to close smaller gaps.

Invisalign and Crowded Teeth

If teeth are crowded and the crowding is mild, treatment can be as short as six to 12 months. However, depending on the amount of overcrowding, the treatment time could be longer. Dr. Margulies at Amboy Orthodontics can discuss the level of crowding and the length of time needed to obtain great results with Invisalign.
