Invisalign Treatment: What’s the Timeline?

Services
Dental Professionals Reviewing X-Ray with Patient

If you’re considering Invisalign to improve your smile, understanding the timeline is key. Clear aligners are an excellent option for straightening teeth, but how long does the treatment take? At Cole Family Dental, we share information about the timing of the Invisalign process, so you know what to expect. 

Typical Invisalign Treatment Duration

For most patients, Invisalign treatment lasts 12-18 months. However, the total time will depend on your unique orthodontic needs and adherence to treatment. If your teeth require minor adjustments, you might finish treatment sooner. On the other hand, more complex issues can extend the duration. After your initial consultation, our team at Cole Family Dental will give you a clearer idea of your specific treatment time.

Invisalign for Teens: A Faster Process?

Teens may experience quicker results with Invisalign compared to adults. Since their teeth are still developing, they respond faster to treatment. However, adults can still benefit from Invisalign in less time than traditional braces. Invisalign works effectively for patients of all ages.

How to Ensure an Efficient Invisalign Treatment

Want to make sure your Invisalign treatment stays on track? Here are a few tips:

  • Wear Aligners for 22 Hours a Day:

    The aligners are only effective when you wear them enough. Stay diligent and wear your aligners any time you are not eating, drinking, flossing, or brushing.

  • Stay on Schedule with Aligner Changes:

    Follow the aligner change schedule set by your dentist. Switching to new aligners on time keeps your treatment moving forward.

  • Keep Your Teeth and Aligners Clean:

    Brush your teeth and clean your aligners after eating to prevent any dental health issues. This will help you avoid delays in your treatment caused by cavities or other concerns.

  • Attend Regular Check-Ups:

    Visit Cole Family Dental every 6-10 weeks to ensure your treatment is progressing smoothly.

Can I give this dentist 10 stars instead of 5? :) Dr. Cole must be incredibly busy, as he is the most in-demand dentist I've heard about from my neighbors and online research, but he certainly didn't show it during our first visit. He took time out to truly listen, explain, and inform.

Excellent dental practice... one of the best I have experienced. I broke an old crown on a tooth and was heading out for an Alaskan cruise later that week. They got me in the day before we departed and were able to actually put in a new crown that afternoon during the visit.

I went to an appointment this morning at Cole Family Dental. I have a slight case of dental anxiety, so my nerves were high. BUT I am so very pleased to say that Dr Cole and his staff were absolutely amazing. I would definitely recommend this office to anyone who may be looking!

I started going to Dr. Cole shortly after he opened. It has always been a pleasant experience. My family has interacted with most (if not all) of his staff and they have consistently been pleasant to deal with. Dr. Cole provides high quality dental care in a relaxing environment.

Best dentist I've been to. Clean facility and friendly staff. They do a great job of pointing out your successes in routine brushing/flossing while tactfully making suggestions for improvement points they may see.

An absolutely fantastic dentist and staff. Had to have a root canal and crown done and over a year later it is still doing great. Dr. answered all of my questions thoroughly and without making me feel rushed. I would highly recommend this dentist!
