What is the Treatment Duration for Invisalign?
4 September 2023
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic solution that involves using a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually shift teeth into their desired positions. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign offers a discreet and comfortable alternative for achieving a straighter smile. When embarking on a journey to achieve a confident smile, understanding the treatment duration for Invisalign is key.
Factors Influencing Treatment Duration
The duration of your Invisalign treatment can vary based on several factors, including:
1. Complexity of Misalignment
The extent of your teeth misalignment plays a role in determining how long your treatment will last. Mild cases may require a shorter duration, while more complex cases may take longer to achieve the desired results.
2. Compliance with Wear Instructions
Consistency is key. Aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours a day, only removing them for eating and oral hygiene. Failure to comply with this instruction can extend the treatment timeline.
3. Frequency of Aligner Changes
Your dentist will provide a schedule for changing to the next set of aligners. Following this schedule diligently ensures that your treatment progresses as planned.
4. Individual Response to Treatment
Each person’s body responds differently to orthodontic treatment. Some individuals may experience faster teeth movement, leading to shorter treatment times.
Typical Treatment Timelines
On average, Invisalign treatment can take anywhere from 6 to 18 months. This is a general estimate, and your dentist will provide a more accurate timeline based on your specific case during the initial consultation.
Importance of Adhering to Treatment Plan
For the best results, it’s crucial to follow your dentist’s instructions meticulously:
- Wear your aligners as directed.
- Keep up with scheduled follow-up appointments.
- Maintain excellent oral hygiene.
Enjoying the Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign offers numerous benefits, including:
- Discreet appearance: The clear aligners are virtually invisible.
- Comfort: Smooth plastic aligners are gentle on your cheeks and gums.
- Removability: Easily take out aligners for eating and oral care.
- Improved confidence: Achieve a straighter smile without the appearance of traditional braces.

What Our Patients Say
Dr Nell is a fantastic dentist. Jolly, reassuring, and extremely knowledgeable. I am sad to be leaving and moving out of the area, as he and his team are outstanding.
Fantastic! Extremely welcoming and very friendly, great advice, very professional, sensible pricing. I’m a new customer and like many perhaps anxious moving to a new practice, but I felt completely at ease and comfortable throughout, it’s refreshing to have ‘old school’ service and logical advice. I can highly recommend these ladies and gents! 😁
Honestly after 10 years of never going to dentist due to fear, im so happy i came here after my sisters recommendation. Helena is amazing, she made me feel at ease, was very patient with me. Finally i can go to dentist without a complete meltdown.Thank you so much for helping me.

Joined this new local dental practice on 10/5/23 and had my 6 monthly checkup with dentist, having previously filled out online health questionnaire & having had my dental history sent from previous practice. It was the most thorough checkup ever. Everyone was very caring & very professional. Very informative Dentist, charming dental nurse and friendly reception staff. Booked hygienist for the following week. Very impressed with my first visit. Its very local to me which is a bonus. Would definitely recommend the practice.Thank you Coniston.
Wonderfull dentist and hygenist services here.. used to come as a kid and after a recent visit with my mother with disability issues I have chosen to get back on their books.. Everyone from front of house through to the doctors has been so pleasant to deal with making what could possibly be something quite stressful nice and simple
