How Long Does Invisalign Take

Invisalign braces are clear aligners – special trays – that fit snugly over your smile. Instead of using wires and brackets like traditional fixed braces, the trays do all the hard work. All it takes to keep treatment on track is to go onto the next set when your dentist directs you – usually every couple of weeks – as each aligner is a slightly different shape to gently nudge your teeth into position. Patients in Manchester love that Invisalign braces are clear, removable and comfortable.

It varies between patients, as it depends on your smile, the extent of straightening you need and other factors, like whether you need any other dental work and whether you’ve had orthodontic treatment before. A typical treatment takes from 12-18 months.

Invisalign braces require a consultation to ensure they’re right for you, so we’ll take a good look at your teeth, take some impressions and look over your dental history. We’ll then feed this information into a computer, which then plots how your teeth should be aligned over time, and calculates the number of aligners needed to do this. Finally, you’ll see predicted results of how your treatment will look and can then start your teeth-straightening journey.
