Frequently Asked Questions

How long does treatment take?

Treatment time varies depending on the case, but most teens complete Invisalign treatment in 12-18 months. Invisalign First for younger children typically takes 12-18 months as well, often followed by a second phase of treatment when all permanent teeth are in.

Is Invisalign painful?

While you may feel some pressure when you start wearing a new set of aligners, this is normal and typically means the aligners are working. Most patients find Invisalign much more comfortable than traditional braces, with no sharp brackets or wires to irritate the mouth.
