How long does Invisalign® treatment typically take?

Invisalign treatment can take several months or longer than two years, depending on the complexity of your orthodontic issues. On average, patients spend about 18 months in treatment.

Invisalign treatment can correct the following orthodontic issues:

  • Crooked, crowded, and overlapping teeth
  • Bite misalignment issues, including the overbite
  • Unusual gaps or spaces between the teeth

The Invisalign® Treatment Timeline and You

Your Palatine dentist first evaluates your orthodontic needs and discusses your smile goals before moving forward with treatment. We can determine how long you’ll need Invisalign aligners at this initial consultation.

If you proceed with Invisalign, we take impressions, and the Invisalign lab uses our results to craft your custom aligners. You wear each set for approximately two weeks before moving on to the next. You visit us only periodically for progress monitoring. At the end of Invisalign treatment, your Palatine dentist provides a custom retainer to prevent orthodontic relapse.

For predictable results, following your dentist’s instructions throughout treatment and after is vital.
