How Long Invisalign Takes braces from person to person due to the complexity of each case. It depends on how much the teeth need to move in order to produce the desired orthodontic outcome, such as closing gaps or eliminating crowding of teeth. If the existing teeth have a lot of distance to travel, then Invisalign treatment will take longer than for someone with less severe problems.
Treatment times are also affected by how compliant patients are with wearing their aligners for the recommended 22 hours a day. If they remove the trays to eat or brush their teeth, it will make treatment slower and less effective. We recommend keeping a care kit with you at all times so that you’re always ready to put your aligners back in.
