Depending on the complexity of your teeth and the type of teeth straightening method you use, the answer may vary.   With Invisalign, you can expect a treatment period of about 12 months. In comparison, traditional metal braces usually require between 18 and 24 months of wear.   However, the results of Invisalign hinge on wearing your aligners every day for at least 22 hours. If you don't do this, it will lengthen the duration of your treatment.   Whether you choose Invisalign or traditional braces, following your dentist’s instructions will always yield the best results.
