Orthodontic treatment times vary by individual and depend on several factors, including the current position of the teeth and gums, the extent of the treatment needed, the age of the patient, patient oral hygiene, and adherence to your orthodontist’s guidance.
Your treatment will be monitored closely and regularly by your orthodontist at routine treatment visits. These appointments are important because they allow your doctor to evaluate progress, adjust your appliances, and determine the next steps toward achieving your smile goals.
Invisalign and braces are comparable in treatment time, with average treatment lengths anywhere between 12 to 18 months. However, your individual treatment may take less time, or up to 24 months or longer. Your orthodontist will discuss your projected treatment time with you during your first visit and keep you updated at your subsequent appointments.
To find out more about treatment times and options, schedule a consultation with our on-site orthodontist at any of our 4 DFW area locations.
