How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?

Last updated on January 27, 2022 Leave a Comment

Invisalign was introduced as a much more discreet and convenient alternative to braces, one that could move teeth much faster too. While braces can take 2-3 years, Invisalign’s average treatment time is just 12-15 months. Still, everyone is different, so treatment times vary depending on your condition’s severity. And although you can find average times online, it’s difficult to estimate how long your specific case will take.

Invisalign is a very flexible treatment option, and it can correct almost any condition that braces can. But, several things can affect how long this correction will take. In this guide, we’ll discuss some of the major factors that can affect your Invisalign treatment time and give you an idea of how long you’ll need to wait before flashing your new smile.

Safety shield and tooth

At-home clear aligners have completely transformed the orthodontic industry. Traditional clear aligners like Invisalign already provided a more discreet treatment option than braces, but at-home aligners exploded onto the market as an even more convenient and accessible alternative.

First introduced in 2014 by SmileDirectClub, at-home clear aligners are very similar to Invisalign. The most significant difference between the two is that home aligners don’t require any office visits, so you can complete treatment entirely remotely. They also cost significantly less than braces or Invisalign — thousands less.

All that said, the home aligner industry is still relatively new, and there are drawbacks to completing orthodontic treatment without face-to-face dental supervision. In this guide, we’ll discuss how safe at-home clear aligner treatment really is and help you decide whether or not it’s the right choice for you.
