Children, teens, and adults who need orthodontic correction usually make good candidates for Invisalign. Candidates should be responsible enough to wear their aligners as directed or properly supervised by an adult.

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made aligners. You will wear each one as directed for a specific time, often one to two weeks. You will then switch to a new aligner that is slightly closer to your final tooth position. These aligners straighten your teeth by applying pressure that causes them to shift their position gradually. 

After your Invisalign treatment, you can expect to wear a retainer that keeps your teeth straight. If you do not wear your aligners or retainer as directed, your results will not be as good. Invisalign requires your participation to do its work. 

Each Invisalign treatment plan is unique. How long your treatment will take depends on several factors, including:

✓ How far your teeth need to move

✓ Your age

✓ Your body’s response to treatment

✓ Your adherence to your treatment plan

Some people may see their teeth move more quickly than others. Minor straightening may take less time than fixing issues like significant crowding. Invisalign is faster than braces for many people.
