You don\u2019t have to endure years of metal brackets and wires to get the smile of your dreams. Thanks to Invisalign, effective, discreet, clear aligners can gradually move your teeth into a healthier position! However, one of the biggest benefits is that Invisalign often delivers results in a fraction of the time. Keep reading to learn a few important factors that will determine the length of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.willowbendbraces.com\/invisalign-clear-aligners.html\">Invisalign<\/a> treatment timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So, How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On average, Invisalign delivers results in 12 months. Compared to the 18+ months traditional braces take to complete, the discreet aligners work relatively quickly. With that being said, there are a few important factors to consider when determining your treatment timeline, like how severe your orthodontic issues are and if you need to correct both arches of teeth. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to speak directly with your orthodontist about when you can expect to see results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Role in the Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although your orthodontist will create and oversee your treatment plan, you play a large role in the process. Here are a few best practices to follow to prevent spending more time and money on Invisalign:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Wear your Invisalign aligners for 22 hours a day.<\/li><li>Follow a solid at-home oral hygiene routine.<\/li><li>Clean your aligners with the proper tools and lukewarm water.<\/li><li>Visit your dentist every six months for a checkup and cleaning.<\/li><li>Be mindful of when to switch to your new aligners.<\/li><li>Keep your aligners in a designated case when they aren\u2019t in use to prevent them from being misplaced.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Schedule an Appointment with Your Orthodontist Today!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in straightening your teeth with Invisalign, then the best place to start is by scheduling an appointment with your orthodontist. From there, they can learn about your smile goals, dental needs, and lifestyle habits to determine which treatment is best for you. By the end of your appointment, you\u2019ll have an idea of when you can expect to see your new and improved smile in all its glory!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After receiving the highest score in the country on the dental admission exam, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.willowbendbraces.com\/meet-dr-tamara-jones.html\">Dr. Tamara L.
