One of the benefits of wearing clear aligners is that you can begin to enjoy your straighter-looking teeth while your treatment is still in progress.<\/p>    <p>Aligner treatment consists of a series of clear aligners, each pair typically worn for 10-14 days before changing to the next. Each new set of aligners is slightly different to the last, and they apply targeted pressure to your teeth to achieve the desired movement.<\/p>    <p>In terms of overall Invisalign treatment time, it can be as quick as three months or as long as two years, but <strong>most cases fall in the range of six to eighteen months<\/strong>. The length of your Invisalign treatment will be directly affected by the number of aligners you need to wear.<\/p>    <p>Below we will go into more detail about the various factors that can affect your treatment duration. But the best way to know for sure is to have an assessment with an Invisalign dentist or orthodontist. <\/p>    <p>Many providers offer a free initial consultation, and you can <strong>check for free appointments near you<\/strong> by using Invisalign&#8217;s treatment locator. After you have entered your postcode or town and done the initial search, choose &#8216;Advanced Search&#8217; and select &#8216;Free initial consultation&#8217; to narrow down your options.<\/p>    <p>If you&#8217;re still unsure if <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/invisalign-invisible-braces\/does-invisalign-work\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"27253\" target=\"_blank\">Invisalign works<\/a> at all, we have a full article that you can read.

You should wear your Invisalign aligners for <strong>20-22 hours per day<\/strong> to ensure your treatment progresses as planned.<\/p>    <p>You can drink water with your aligners in, as long as it&#8217;s not too hot since this can warp the plastic.

The most common place to have a diastema is between the upper two front teeth. Other people have several teeth that are too widely spaced; sometimes resulting from one or more missing teeth.<\/p>    <p>Gaps between teeth not only affect appearance but also make it more difficult to clean between the teeth well, which may contribute to dental decay over time.<\/p>    <p>Closing a gap in teeth with Invisalign aligners can take just a few months in straightforward cases, or 18 months or more when the gaps are more severe.

The more movement needed, and the more complex it is, the more aligners will be required. Any dental restorations you have may also cause your treatment will take longer because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/invisalign-invisible-braces\/invisalign-with-crowns-veneers\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"32137\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">crowns and bridges move slower<\/a> than your natural teeth.<\/p>    <p>Aside from this, there are some other factors that can influence whether your treatment plan stays on track.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Patient compliance<\/h3>    <p>We already mentioned that aligners should be worn for at least 20-22 hours per day. Sticking to this will increase the chances of completing your treatment as projected.<\/p>    <p>Occasionally breaking this rule is not going to jeopardise your treatment completely, so don&#8217;t worry if you have a wedding or another big event coming up and you want to be able to keep your aligners out all day.<\/p>    <p>However, if you regularly leave your aligners out for more than four hours a day, your teeth won&#8217;t move as planned. Your next set of aligners might not fit properly, and you&#8217;ll end up having to wear them for longer to get your teeth back on track. Your dentist may even need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/invisalign-invisible-braces\/invisalign-refinements\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"31438\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">add extra aligners<\/a> at the end of your treatment if you have deviated from your treatment plan. This will mean your Invisalign treatment takes longer than originally expected.<\/p>    <p>Fortunately, Invisalign&#8217;s dental monitoring app is designed to help patients remember when it&#8217;s time to put their aligners back in, or to switch to a new set. It also helps track tooth movement so your dentist can see whether any adjustments need to be made to your treatment timeframe.<\/p>    <p>Aligners can be a little tight at first, or if you have needed to take them out all day for a special occasion, but there are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/invisalign-invisible-braces\/invisalign-chewies\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"28607\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">devices<\/a> that can help you put in your aligners correctly. Invisalign chewies can help you properly seat your aligners and make sure your treatment doesn&#8217;t take any longer. <\/p>    <p>If you think you (or your child) may have trouble wearing the aligners as directed, fixed braces could be a better option.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Age<\/h3>    <p>It&#8217;s common for <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/braces-for-kids\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"4607\" target=\"_blank\">children and adolescents to get braces<\/a> because the teeth and jawbone are more responsive to treatment while they are still growing and developing.<\/p>    <p>But that doesn&#8217;t mean that adults can&#8217;t get braces too! In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/braces-for-adults\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"15\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">adult braces<\/a> are becoming ever more popular thanks to discreet options like Invisalign and lingual braces.<\/p>    <p>Age can affect treatment time though since adult teeth are a bit more stubborn and take longer to start moving.<\/p>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/invisalign-fitting-aligners-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"woman at invisalign appointment\" class=\"wp-image-27831\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/invisalign-fitting-aligners-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/invisalign-fitting-aligners-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/invisalign-fitting-aligners-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/invisalign-fitting-aligners-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/invisalign-fitting-aligners.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> Sticking to your appointments will keep Invisalign treatment time shorter <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adherence to appointments<\/h3>    <p>During your Invisalign treatment, your dentist will ask you to attend regular checkups. The main purpose of these is to check that your teeth as moving as planned and to order your next few sets of aligners.<\/p>    <p>If you miss an appointment, this could extend your treatment time. Additionally, aligners are designed to be stable enough during a specific period of time. This study demonstrates changes in Invisalign properties after 2 weeks of use. Hence, If you miss an appointment, this could extend your treatment time.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adjustments<\/h3>    <p>At the end of your planned treatment, your dentist will assess the new position of your teeth. Sometimes they don&#8217;t move exactly as expected, or there may be some small cosmetic imperfections you still wish to address. <\/p>    <p>In this case, your dentist may prescribe several more sets of aligners to make further adjustments. This, of course, will extend your treatment time.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Broken or lost aligners<\/h3>    <p>Clear aligners are made from a&nbsp;polyurethane-based polymer that&#8217;s strong enough to produce movement in your teeth, but they aren&#8217;t invincible! If you break or lose an aligner, you&#8217;ll have to revert to the previous set and wait for a replacement to be made. Again, this will delay the completion of your treatment.<\/p>    <p>To avoid this, always put your aligners in a case when you&#8217;re not wearing them.<\/p>    <p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>   <div class=\"mega-button\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?awinmid=92509&amp;awinaffid=849251&amp;campaign=Day+Aligner+Pricing&amp;clickref=Day+Aligner+Pricing&amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.awin1.com%2Fcread.php%3Fawinmid%3D92509%26awinaffid%3D849251%26campaign%3DDay%2BAligner%2BPricing\" class=\"orange\" rel=\"nofollow\">Get the best price for aligners!<\/a><\/div>    <h2 id=\"invisalign-treatment-time-vs-braces\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invisalign treatment time vs braces<\/h2>    <p>Regardless of the type of problem you need to treat, you might be wondering whether <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/braces-for-adults\/invisalign-vs-braces\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"22528\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Invisalign or traditional braces<\/a> will be faster.<\/p>    <p>Unfortunately, we can&#8217;t give a simple answer to this. Some orthodontists say that because braces are non-removable, they are working 24\/7 and can therefore deliver results faster than Invisalign aligners. Others argue that Invisalign can provide more targeted tooth movement, making it more efficient.<\/p>    <p>Studies like this one have shown that clear aligner treatment can be faster than braces, but equally, it can be less effective in certain cases.<\/p>    <p>Again, the best way to answer all these questions about your specific case is to visit an Invisalign provider and receive a personalised treatment plan.
