Typically patients may need Invisalign from anywhere from 12 to 18 months. The length of your treatment will depend on the condition of your teeth.

What issues can Invisalign fix?
Invisalign can be used to address crooked teeth, gapped teeth, underbite, misaligned teeth, and other minor bite issues.

Is Invisalign painful?
Invisalign treatment is not a painful treatment. However, because the teeth are gradually shifting over time, some patients may experience slight discomfort during the early stage of treatment or when they switch trays.
