Typically you will need to visit your Charlotte Invisalign dentist every 4-6 weeks to ensure that treatment is progressing as planned and adjust any necessary settings or aligners if needed. On average, Invisalign treatment takes 12 to 18 months, but it can be shorter or longer depending on the individual case. During the consultation, your dental professional will be able to provide you with a more accurate estimate of how long your Invisalign treatment is expected to take. Factors that can affect the length of treatment include the severity of the orthodontic issue, the patient’s age, and the patient’s compliance with the treatment plan. It is important to keep in mind that Invisalign treatment is a gradual process and results will not be immediate. However, with consistent and proper use of the clear aligners, patients can expect to see gradual progress towards their desired outcome. If you live in Charlotte, SC and are considering Invisalign treatment, the dental professionals at Charlotte Dental Arts can provide you with more information and answer any questions you may have about the treatment process and timeline.
