Your dentist will explain how long your Invisalign treatment will last based on your specific needs.
Factors that may determine the duration of your treatment include the misalignment of your teeth or jaw, the shape of your bite, and the amount of movement required to correct the problem.
The Invisalign aligners are made with USP Class VI medical-grade, high-molecular-weight polyurethane resins. They are BPA-free.
Since Invisalign aligners require no adjustments or tightening, you just switch to a new set of aligners as outlined by your dentist. Your dentist will schedule brief appointments with you approximately every 4 to 6 weeks as needed.
