Wondering, “How long do I have to wear Invisalign?” We’ll look at the facts.
Today, Invisalign has helped over eight million people get a beautiful smile. As you correct your smile, you can also avoid oral health concerns. So, treatment helps you look and feel better. Thus, Invisalign and other orthodontic care can transform not only smiles but also lives. That’s why we love Invisalign as Premier Providers serving the Indianapolis area.
How Long Do I Have To Wear Invisalign?
Often, people have the misconception that orthodontic treatment takes years. However, advances in technology make treatment faster and more comfortable than in the past. Now, many people can expect results in half as much time as before!
On average, you’ll wear a series of clear aligners for 12 months. However, some people with only minor corrections may finish in as little as six months. In more serious cases, treatment can take longer than 12 months.
Keep in mind; your treatment will also be faster if you wear your aligners as prescribed. Although the aligners easily come out for eating, drinking, and brushing, you must wear them the rest of the time. Otherwise, treatment may take longer.
A Retainer Ensures You Keep That Perfect Smile
Also, following treatment with Invisalign or braces, you’ll wear a retainer. Like Invisalign, the time you need to wear the retainer varies for each individual. However, you’ll start out wearing the retainer full-time, and then eventually, you may only need to wear it part-time.
