If you’re thinking about straightening your teeth with Invisalign, one of the first questions you might have is: “How long will it take?” The answer depends on your unique smile goals and the complexity of your case.
Summit Family Dental in Shelby Township, MI, is currently offering Invisalign treatment for just $3,679, more than 50% off the regular price. With a customized plan designed by our experienced team, you can straighten your teeth faster than you might expect.
In this post, we’ll break down how long Invisalign takes for different case types, from mild cosmetic fixes to more complex orthodontic needs.
How Invisalign Works
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually shift your teeth into alignment. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks and then swapped out for the next in the series. Most patients wear their aligners 20–22 hours a day and visit their dentist every 6–8 weeks for check-ups.
Treatment time is influenced by the severity of the case, your consistency in wearing the aligners, and your individual response to treatment.
Invisalign Treatment Time by Case Type
Mild Crowding or Spacing
- Estimated Time: 4–6 months
- Best for: Patients with minor gaps or slightly crooked teeth
- Example cases: Slight overlapping in front teeth, small space between incisors
Moderate Alignment Issues
- Estimated Time: 6–12 months
- Best for: Patients with moderate crowding, spacing, or bite alignment issues
- Example cases: Rotation of teeth, mild crossbite, or overbite
Complex Orthodontic Cases
- Estimated Time: 12–18+ months
- Best for: Patients with significant bite issues, overcrowding, or misalignment
- Example cases: Severe overbite/underbite, multiple rotated teeth, previous orthodontic relapse
Factors That Affect Invisalign Treatment Time
1. Case Complexity
The more complex the issue, the more aligners are needed, and the longer the treatment.
2. Patient Compliance
Wearing your aligners as prescribed is crucial. Removing them too often or not meeting the 20–22 hour guideline can delay your results.
3. Age & Tooth Movement
Adults often see great results with Invisalign, but their teeth may move more slowly than teenagers’. Younger patients may complete treatment a bit faster.
4. Refinements & Mid-Course Adjustments
Some patients may need extra aligners toward the end of treatment to perfect results. These “refinements” can extend treatment time slightly.
