How Long Does Invisalign Take?
A frequent question we get asked at Perfect Smile Spa is “how long does invisalign take to work?” Treatment times vary from person to person, depending on the complexity of each straightening issue.
At our dental clinic we will discuss your goals and concerns and only then agree the best way forward for you achieving the best results in the shortest time.
What to Expect from Invisalign
Wondering how Invisalign works? Before a treatment plan can be created, impressions are taken of your teeth to check whether they can be straightened using the Invisalign System. Once confirmed, a detailed treatment plan will then be developed using ClinCheck®, our virtual 3D treatment plan. ClinCheck shows the series of movements your teeth are projected to go through over the course of the treatment – so you can see how your teeth are expected to look at the end of your Invisalign treatment before it even begins.
A series of aligners will be made; you will wear each set of custom-made aligners in two-week increments. As you progress through the series of aligners, your teeth will begin moving, little by little, gradually moving towards the desired position.
During this time you will have occasional check-ups in order to monitor your progress and ensure you are comfortable with the treatment. It is advised that the invisalign brace be worn at least 20 hours a day however one of the main advantages of Invisalign braces is the fact that they are removable.
Once your teeth are straight, retainers are custom made and fitted to prevent your teeth from moving back. If you do not have retainers your teeth will move back.
