How Long Does It Take for Invisalign Express to Work?
The timetable for Invisalign Express will be determined by your case. If you were approved for Invisalign Express, your status is probably better than average, as Invisalign Express is intended for patients who need only mild or moderate cleanup. You may have had orthodontic treatment as a teen but experienced dental relapse as an adult. Or you may just need a slight midline correction. Either way, you have a much shorter range with Invisalign Express. Since the program typically requires 10 aligners instead of the usual 20, the treatment is 20 weeks instead of the usual 40.
The treatment time is already cut in half, but some of the more experimental dentists try to push even more by prescribing one aligner per week for 20 weeks. If your teeth have above-average spacing, it can prompt faster movement. Another advantage of this even more Express version is the trays don’t have as much time to attract odor or stains if they’re being changed every week.

For the average case, 20 aligners with replacement every 2 weeks provide enough movement to retouch old orthodontic work, or reorient rotated teeth. This means our dentist in OC can have your smile ready for you in about five months.
