Each patient is different. While the average Invisalign treatment time is 12 to 18 months, you may need to wear Invisalign braces for longer if your case is complex or you don’t wear your aligners consistently. However, some patients notice their smiles start to straighten just a few weeks into Invisalign treatment.

Do you wear Invisalign all day?
You must wear your Invisalign braces 20 to 22 hours a day. Otherwise, your teeth will not move according to schedule. You should only take out your nearly invisible aligners to brush, floss, drink, and eat. The more consistently you wear your aligners, the sooner you’ll be able to enjoy a beautifully straight smile.
