How long does Invisalign® take?

31 March · 1 minute

If you’re thinking about starting Invisalign treatment, you’re probably wondering how long it’s going to take to get the straight teeth you’ve been dreaming of.

The truth is, treatment time varies from person to person. It all depends on your unique dental needs–especially the severity of your alignment issues.

We specialize in clear orthodontic solutions supported by Invisalign® clear aligners. One of the most common questions we hear is: “How long does Invisalign take?”

While every case is different, we can offer general timelines that give you a good idea and help you get clear on what to expect.

Invisalign® treatment time: what to expect with Impress

With Impress, the majority of patients who undergo treatment with Invisalign® aligners see visible results in as little as 6 months. This makes Invisalign one of the most efficient orthodontic solutions available, especially in comparison to traditional braces.

The exact time frame depends on a few key factors:

  • The complexity of your alignment issues 
  • How consistently you wear your aligners 
  • How your body responds to treatment

Can Invisalign® fix overbite and gap teeth?

Yep, Invisalign can treat common issues like overbites, gaps and crowding. Small gaps may close in six months, while more complex cases can take up to 24 months.

Can Invisalign® fix crowding?

In mild to moderate cases, Invisalign can correct crowding in as little as 6-12 months.

More severe crowding requires more gradual adjustments, which means additional aligners to achieve the movement. The good thing is that your treatment is designed exclusively for you–yet the price remains competitive.

Invisalign® vs braces: which is faster?

Are traditional braces faster than Invisalign® aligners? In most cases, the answer is no. While braces are highly effective, they usually take about twice as long as aligners to achieve the desired results.

In contrast, at Impress, the average treatment duration is significantly shorter, with patients seeing visible results in as little as 6 months. That said, every smile is unique. Simple cases may finish sooner.

How long does Invisalign take compared to other methods

So, how long do you wear Invisalign®?

For most Impress patients, treatment is less than a year. By following your treatment plan closely and wearing your aligners as recommended, you can enjoy quicker results compared to traditional braces.
