How Long Does Invisalign Take? Timelines & What to Expect in Reading

Invisalign in Reading-Earley Dental Practice

A brilliant, straight smile is now more easily attainable with Invisalign treatment in Reading. At Earley Dental Practice, it is by no means common for patients to ask: How long does Invisalign take? This guide outlines treatment timings, what impacts them, and what to anticipate with your Invisalign treatment.

What Is Invisalign & How Does It Work?

Invisalign aligners are thin, transparent trays with the capacity to straighten teeth without wires and brackets that come with conventional braces. They function by progressively moving teeth into their ideal location through a series of special fitted aligners replaced every 1-2 weeks.

✔ Discreet & comfortable

✔ Removable to clean and eat

✔ Mild to more severe cases

How Long Does It Take to Have Invisalign Compared to Braces?

Most individuals ask themselves whether Invisalign is quicker than braces. Although the traditional form of braces takes a mean of 18-24 months, Invisalign treatment generally lasts 6 to 18 months based on:

  • The amount of teeth misalignment
  • How long you wear the aligners (20-22 hours daily is required)
  • Individual treatment requirements
  • For small cosmetic cases, others might have results in 3 to 6 months.

How Many Trays Will I Require for Invisalign?

The length of your total Invisalign treatment depends on how many trays you are given. Most individuals wear 12-48 aligners, which are replaced weekly every 1-2 weeks. Your dentist at Earley Dental Practice will plan each stage meticulously in order to provide precise tooth movement for a reliable outcome.

Will Invisalign Work for Crowded Teeth?

Invisalign is very effective for overcrowded teeth, gaps, and small bite cases. More complex cases might need longer treatment or other orthodontic work. Our skilled Invisalign guides in Reading will examine your teeth and devise a custom plan.

Is Invisalign Comfortable?

One of the greatest benefits of Reading Invisalign treatment is that it’s comfortable. As with anything involving the movement of teeth, pressure cannot be avoided, but Invisalign aligners are smooth and less irritating than metal brackets.

What Is Involved in Invisalign Treatment?

This is what goes on:

  • Consultation & 3D scan – Talk through your aspirations and receive a digital smile preview.
  • Custom aligner fitting – Aligners are made to rest comfortably on your teeth.
  • Regular check-ups – Every 4-6 weeks to monitor progress.
  • Retention phase – After treatment, you’ll wear retainers to maintain your new smile.
