It is relatively common for patients using Invisalign or other types of Clear Aligners to start seeing changes early. Sometimes in as little as six weeks into their treatment. Once you've made the decision to use Invisalign Clear Aligners to straighten your smile, it's natural to ask "How Long Does It Take For Invisalign To Start Working?"

More complex cases, including those such as severe misalignment, gaps between the teeth or overcrowding, will require longer treatment duration overall.

If you’ve hit the six week mark with your aligner trays and you don’t feel like you are seeing results, don’t worry.

Correcting more complicated dental concerns will naturally take a little longer, and so results to start to appear more slowly.

It's important to choose a specialist orthodontist as your Invisalign provider. Only an experienced orthodontic professional will be able to plan your treatment schedule and deliver the results you want.
