How Long Will I Need to Wear Invisalign?

In this video, Dr. Matthew Keider explains the importance of wearing Invisalign trays for 22 hours a day and how treatment duration varies based on individual needs. If you are considering Invisalign, schedule a free consultation today to receive a personalized treatment plan.

Invisalign trays must be worn for at least 22 hours per day to ensure effective treatment. They should only be removed when eating and for oral hygiene, such as brushing and flossing. At all other times, they should remain in the mouth to maintain consistent pressure on the teeth for optimal movement.

The length of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case. On average, treatment lasts between six and twelve months. The duration depends on factors such as the severity of crowding, the amount of tooth movement required, or the need to close gaps between teeth. In most cases, treatment falls within the eight- to twelve-month range.

If you are considering Invisalign, we can evaluate your specific dental needs and provide a personalized treatment plan, including an estimated timeline for achieving your ideal smile.
