Invisalign Express is much like traditional Invisalign, the main difference being that it is a much faster process. The two types work exactly the same way, but Express is for those who have the most minor of dental issues to correct. Some examples of such minor corrections include:
• Less than 2mm of spacing or crowding per arch
• Less than 2mm of midline correction required
• Only minimal rotation of cuspids, bicuspids, and/or incisors
• Less than 1.5mm of expansion per arch
You may also need Invisalign Express for dental straightening prior to restorative or cosmetic procedures, or for issues resulting from the relapse of previous orthodontic treatment.
How Invisalign Express works
Your expert in Invisalign Express in San Francisco will take pictures and impressions of your teeth that will then be digitalized. From those digital renderings, 3D technology will be used to map teeth movements and create aligners customized to you. Normal Invisalign treatment takes typically anywhere between twelve and eighteen months. However, due to the minor amount of treatment needed, Invisalign Express treatments usually only last about six months.
