How long does it take to get results from Invisalign?
With Invisalign orthodontics, patients in the Drumheller, Alberta, area can work with a dentist “near me” who can provide a straighter smile! Teeth that are misaligned can be addressed with this treatment, designed to give patients control over the process and eliminate the need for an orthodontic referral or unsightly metal bracket-and-wire braces of the past!Â
Drs. Kenneth Poznikoff and Claude Boutin of Riverside Dental Clinic can discuss this treatment and the expected timeframe for completion with you if you are interested in learning more!
How long does it take to obtain results from Invisalign treatment?
The amount of time needed to complete your Invisalign treatment from start to finish will vary greatly depending on several factors. These factors include:
- The complexity of your case. If you have teeth that need to be removed due to overcrowding or have severe misalignment, your treatment time may be longer
- The frequency of your dental visits. More frequent visits may be needed to ensure compliance and the progression of the teeth alignment as expected
- How well you follow your dentist’s recommendations. If you are not wearing your trays in the order intended or are not keeping them in for at least 20 hours a day, this noncompliance can significantly affect the timeframe needed to achieve your new smile. Patients should follow all instructions to get their smiles rejuvenated as planned
On average, Invisalign treatment for teens and adults with proper compliance can take anywhere between 12-18 months to complete. If patients are not compliant with their treatment recommendations, it could result in delays and extra costs.
