After 8-10 wks: It takes 8-10 weeks for the teeth to really begin moving. In the month after this you should notice the changes. Bear in mind, the change is slow so you become accustomed to it and it is not noticeable daily. However, if you compare yourself to pre-treatment photographs, you should notice a change after the 8-10 weeks.

A couple of months: The aligners only move the teeth a little bit, and since you wear each aligner for two weeks, it can take four to five aligners to move your teeth one millimeter ( 1/25 th of an inch).

A few weeks.: It takes a few weeks to notice a difference with invisalign. Do your best to wear them at least 23 hours a day.

It depends: It depends on what you are correcting and how good your eye is. Most cases will see a noticeable (to the layman's eye) change in 4-6 weeks if front teeth are being rotated or moved in/out. Back teeth: not many people see these changes like your orthodontist does.

A month or two: Tooth movement with clear aligner treatment is subtle and since you are looking at your teeth everyday, you may not actually notice much change for a while.

Hard to tell: Without an orthodontist seeing your teeth, an estimate based on the details you provided is impossible. The best answer will be provided during your consult.

Almost immediately: Know that in the hands of a trained Orthodontic Specialist, clear aligners are about half as effective as fixed appliances (braces), less so when done by a non-Orthodontist..
