How long is the invisalgn treatment?
Invisalign treatment time varies depending on the individual case and the complexity of the orthodontic issues being addressed. On average, Invisalign treatment takes about 12 to 18 months to complete. However, some cases may require a shorter treatment time, while others may require a longer treatment time.
Here are some factors that can affect the length of Invisalign treatment:
* The severity of the orthodontic problems: More severe orthodontic problems, such as large gaps between teeth or severe crowding, may require a longer treatment time.
* The patient's age: Younger patients may have more flexible teeth and jaws, which can make Invisalign treatment more effective and faster.
* The patient's compliance with treatment: Patients who wear their aligners as directed and follow their orthodontist's instructions will typically have a shorter treatment time.
* The type of Invisalign treatment: There are different types of Invisalign treatment available, each with its own treatment time. For example, Invisalign Express treatment is designed for patients with mild to moderate orthodontic problems and typically takes about 6 to 12 months to complete.
Your orthodontist will be able to give you a more accurate estimate of how long your Invisalign treatment will take during your initial consultation.
