One of the most common questions adult and teen patients ask is: “How long does Invisalign take?” At Carr Orthodontics, we use digital 3D planning with the iTero scanner to give every patient an accurate estimate from day one.
Typical Invisalign Timeline
In Chico, most Invisalign treatments take:
- 6–18 months for mild to moderate cases
- 18–24 months for more complex bite corrections
- 4–6 months for minor cosmetic touch-ups
What Affects Treatment Time?
- Case complexity
- How consistently aligners are worn
- Need for elastics
- Aligners changed weekly or bi-weekly
- Teeth spacing, crowding, or bite issues
Faster Treatment with Compliance
Wearing aligners 22 hours per day dramatically improves speed and results. Most Carr Orthodontics patients stay on track when using our removable aligner tools, such as indicators and digital monitoring.
