  • Removability
  • Low visibility

Invisalign Treatment Time Depends on Your Unique Case

However, because clear aligners like Invisalign take advantage of digital planning, no matter how long your treatment will take, you will know it in advance and be able to plan accordingly.

If timeframes are among your primary concerns, we also offer Invisalign Express if your tooth misalignment is milder and more straightforward. Invisalign Express works with fewer aligner trays with an average treatment time of about six months, more or less depending also on your consistency when wearing your aligners.

  • Brush and Floss Regularly—Brush your teeth after every meal to prevent food particles from getting trapped between your teeth and the aligners. Floss daily to remove debris that brushing might miss, minimising the risk of cavities and gum disease.
  • Clean the Aligners Daily — Clean your aligners every time you remove them to wash away saliva and plaque. We recommend using a soft toothbrush and clear, unscented liquid soap to gently clean them. Avoid using toothpaste as it can be too abrasive and scratch the plastic aligners.
  • Soak Aligners Daily — Soak your aligners daily in Invisalign cleaning crystals or a denture cleaner to keep them clear and free from bacteria buildup.
  • Avoid Eating and Drinking with Aligners — Remove your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water to prevent staining and damage. Brush your teeth before reinserting them to keep them clean and odour-free.
  • Store Aligners Properly — Always store your aligners in their case when you’re not wearing them to protect them from damage and bacteria buildup.
