What to Know Before Invisalign Treatment

  • Average treatment time – Your treatment length will depend entirely upon your unique teeth and your straightening needs. Your provider will give you a time estimate at the outset, but this might change depending on how much you wear your aligners, whether you keep your regular appointments, and how your teeth respond to treatment. For most adult patients, treatment takes about 12 months. This may be shorter for teens.
  • Changes to daily life – You should make your Invisalign trays a top priority, making sure to replace them as soon after eating, drinking, or cleaning as possible. Invest in a portable toothbrush for cleaning on the go, but don’t worry about altering your diet – since the aligners are removable, you won’t need to adhere to restrictions.
  • Regular appointments – Your Invisalign provider will want to see you in the office every 4-6 weeks. This allows them to make sure the treatment is progressing on schedule, and no adjustments need to be made.
  • Careful cleaning – You want your final smile to be both straight and disease-free. This means brushing and flossing carefully every time you take your aligners out to eat. Don’t let bacteria or food particles get trapped between your teeth and aligners – this causes decay.
