Invisalign Timeline

Invisalign is an alternative orthodontic treatment that gets rave reviews from providers and patients. It is very effective against crooked or rotated teeth, and has even seen some changes in patient malocclusion—or bad bite. As a visual aid, it is superior to traditional braces, which most patients—especially younger ones—consider an obstruction even in their more updated forms.
Invisalign is also faster than braces in most cases. This is also part of the draw. Braces can take as long as two years, while Invisalign rarely takes more than a year. 

Your total treatment time is determined by the severity of your case. Your dentist prescribes your number of aligner sets in advance, with new sets scheduled at two week intervals. Invisalign is a staged system, with each new set extending the progress of the previous one. If you wear them as instructed, and observe monthly checkups, your treatment largely takes care of itself. 

Of course, this schedule is contingent on you wearing your aligners 22 hours a day, no exceptions. Taking them out for meals is all that’s allowed, otherwise you risk falling behind in your treatment.
