How Long Does Teeth Straightening Take?

Wearing clear aligners to get the perfect smile takes less time than traditional braces. Many factors influence how long the teeth straightening process takes, including the condition of your teeth and whether you wear your aligners correctly. Most people only need to wear invisible teeth straighteners for 4 - 6 months, and some even notice results within a few weeks.

The further your teeth need to move, the longer your treatment will take. If you only want to correct minor gaps between your teeth, your treatment could last as little as eight weeks! Invisible teeth straightening aligners are flexible and comfortable to wear, so they don’t cause too much hassle, even if you have to use them for long periods. 

SmileBar aligners can help correct the following misalignments:

• Gaps between teeth

• Crooked teeth

• Crowded teeth

Using Aligners Correctly for Shorter Straightening Time

While clear aligners may be more discreet and easier to clean than metal braces, it does take commitment to wear them correctly and straighten your teeth in record time. Most orthodontists recommend wearing them for at least 20 hours a day for the best results. Your daily brushing time will probably increase during treatment because you should clean your teeth after every meal to prevent dirt from collecting in your aligners.

Wearing your aligners properly will help straighten your teeth faster. You can also use our alignment accelerator to reduce the duration of your treatment. This device sends gentle vibrations to the roots of your teeth to enhance their movement while wearing the aligners.
