The length of time for clear aligner treatment varies greatly depending on the specific needs of each patient and the complexity of their case. Generally, it takes anywhere from six to 18 months to complete, although some minor cases can be resolved in as little as three months, while more complex cases could take up to two years or more. This is why it's important to have an initial consultation with your dentist or orthodontist to determine the estimated timeline for your treatment.
During the consultation, the provider will assess your teeth, discuss your goals, and create a customised treatment plan that outlines each stage of the process. Advancements in clear aligner technology, like digital imaging and 3-D modelling, make it easier to predict how long treatment will take with greater accuracy than before.
It's important to wear your aligners as directed, which is typically for 20 to 22 hours a day. Not wearing them consistently or skipping aligner sets can delay your progress, and regular check-ups with your provider will help ensure your teeth are moving as planned and allow for any necessary adjustments to keep your treatment on track.
