How much time does it take invisalign to work?

Immediately : Your teeth will move a tiny bit while wearing your first set of aligners. You will not really see the movement because it is very small but you will feel it!

Varies greatly: depending on the case. we've had cases as short as 3-4 months and as long as 2 years. I suggest discussing with an orthodontist who can see your teeth (they should provide a free consultation).

6-12 months: The average treatment time for invisalign is 6-12 months. However, the orthodontic treatment timing depends entirely on the complexity of the case. Regardless, you will be thrilled with the result. Good luck!

Starts immediately: The moment you start wearing clear aligners they begin moving teeth at a rate of 0.4-0.5 mm, or about 1/100 of an inch, per month. The more complex the case, the longer your time in treatment. While braces work faster and better, clear aligners may be applicable for your case. See a Pro, a fully qualified Orthodontic Specialist, for the best answer to your individual problem.
