Learn the typical Invisalign timeline and what to expect with Springmount Dental.

If you’re dreaming of a straighter smile but don’t love the idea of metal braces, Invisalign could be the perfect solution. At Springmount Dental, we regularly help patients achieve beautifully aligned teeth with these virtually invisible aligners. But one of the most common questions we hear is: how long does Invisalign take?

Average Invisalign Treatment Time

The average Invisalign treatment takes between 6 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of your case. Mild cosmetic alignment could be completed in as little as six months, while more involved adjustments may take over a year. That said, Invisalign often works faster than traditional braces in many cases, and you’ll start to see changes within a matter of weeks.

Factors That Affect Treatment Length

A few key factors can influence how long your Invisalign journey will take:

  • Complexity of Misalignment: Minor crowding or spacing issues require less time than cases involving bite correction or severely rotated teeth.
  • Patient Compliance: Invisalign trays need to be worn for 20–22 hours a day. Removing them too often can delay your results.
  • Age: Adults may experience slightly longer treatment times than teens due to slower bone movement.

The Invisalign Process at Springmount Dental

Your Invisalign journey with us starts with a detailed consultation and digital scan of your teeth. From there, we’ll map out your personalised treatment plan using 3D software that shows what your smile will look like at each stage.

Every few weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners, gently moving your teeth closer to their ideal positions. You’ll also have regular check-ins at Springmount to make sure everything is on track.

We offer Invisalign in Chesterfield and Matlock as part of our commitment to giving you modern, comfortable orthodontic solutions that suit your lifestyle.
