How Long Does Invisalign Take?

The process starts with initial consultation. Once done with consultation, you will get 3-D digital scans, and after all the calculations have been made along with look being approved then the manufacturing process starts which only takes a few hours.

Time it takes to get Invisalign trays after scans

Once done with all the initial scans, trays are usually sent within approximately 2 weeks to the practice.

Once you get used to it, it shouldn’t take more than 30 seconds every time for aligners to be removed and put on.

Time it takes for treatment of different cases

Treatment time always varies, generally removing front teeth takes less time than moving teeth at the back. Less the movement less time it takes.

Time it takes to close the gap

If there are only couple of gaps between the front teeth then the suitable treatment will be Invisalign Go, which takes around 6 months. If you are looking for results in less time, then the treatments such as dental veneers and cosmetic bonding will be more suitable.

Time is takes for crowded teeth

Front crowded teeth are usually corrected within 6 to 12 months, which is dependent on the amount of crowding. Reason why teeth are mostly crowded because there is not enough space in the jaw, so additional treatments such as teeth extraction can be undertaken before the Invisalign. These treatments will add time to the overall treatment.

Overbite treatment is a more complex problem and the treatment can typically take up to 2 years. Process involves moving of larger number of teeth, mainly the back teeth.
