How long does Invisalign® take?

Invisalign® is an alternative to traditional orthodontics, which work through metal brackets and wire braces that move teeth through the force your orthodontist creates when tightening the wires. While Invisalign still physically manipulates teeth, it works through a series of clear aligners that we plan and design to complement your particular teeth alignment challenges.

Invisalign Digital Planning Provides Clear Timeframes

Your individual situation influences the length of your Invisalign treatment time, but the process in most cases ranges from 12 to 15 months. One advantage is that our Brisbane dental team provides a complete exam and consultation so we can accommodate your smile goals. In addition, we use leading-edge imaging technology to create precise, high-resolution scans of your teeth so that we can simulate your treatment and predict your results.

From these digital plans, an Invisalign lab will fabricate a series of aligner trays that you wear for approximately two weeks. Because we know the number of aligners in your treatment plan, we can estimate the total time for treatment with great accuracy. We also recommend that your treatment be safeguarded with a retainer, especially in the first few years after treatment. A retainer keeps your teeth from reverting to their previous positions and helps establish them to keep your new smile intact.
