Clear Aligners Treatment: How Long Do Aligners Take to Work

While everyone desires perfectly straight teeth and a smile, they can be proud of, the prospect of having to wear braces for years makes most people uneasy and worry about their appearance.

At Bombay Dental Specialities, we can help you get a great smile with Invisalign, an aesthetically pleasing way of correcting the misalignment of your teeth. If you have proclined, crooked, gapped, or misaligned teeth, this is good news since you no longer need to go for unsightly metal braces. Invisalign is a convenient way to straighten your teeth and one that does the work of correcting your smile without letting anyone ever know you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment.

What makes Invisalign Treatment Special?

The clear, flexible aligners from Invisalign are comfortable and virtually invisible in your mouth. These come with the convenience of being removable, so you are not required to give up any of your favorite foods during treatment. In about a year, you can have a beautiful smile all without the hassle of traditional braces.

How Does an Invisalign Treatment Work?

Invisalign technology uses custom-designed clear aligner trays to gently move teeth into their proper position. Invisalign is a simple and painless way to straighten your teeth. You wear the aligners 20-22 hours per day and get a new set every week or two. Each new set of aligners gradually moves teeth into proper alignment.

Invisalign trays are comfortable and nearly invisible because they are made of thin, clear plastic.

How Long Does Invisalign Take to Correct Teeth Alignment?

Most adults complete Invisalign treatment and have straight teeth in 12-18 months. In some cases, visible results can be seen just a few weeks after beginning the Invisalign process. Invisalign is a good option for teenagers and adults who want straight teeth but don’t want to wear painful, cumbersome metal braces. Invisalign can now correct all of the most common misalignments and help you achieve a better bite and straighter teeth in as little as 12 months.

What Kind of Teeth Misalignments Can Be Corrected with Invisalign?

Invisalign can correct minor to moderate misalignments as well as some severe cases, such as:

• Uneven teeth
• Dentures that are crowded
• Missing teeth
• Open bite
• Overbite
• Underbite
