Treatment duration with aligners

• To get the estimate of treatment duration it’s necessary to know how aligner work.
• Aligners is made of series of plastic material and worn in an incremental sequence.
• Your dentist will create a customized plan in which the initial process will include 3D impression scanning of your teeth, records like intraoral and extra oral photographs, X-ray examination etc.
• The treatment cases divided in three types: mild moderate and severe.
• The treatment estimation varies for each patient depending on the severity of the case as every person is different i.e. if the case is mild or moderate it will likely take about six to twelve months.
• But if the case is more complicated than the treatment might undergo up to one to one and a half year also. The treatment duration varies depending on your condition of gums, jaw and even your diet.
• Patient opting aligners should always know that the average treatment period is about 12 months.
• The advantage with the aligners is that the initial changes are noticeable within 4-6 weeks if mild case and in complicated cases is that the changes are noticeable within 12 months itself.

If severe crowding than the treatment will Extend long until it’s resolved.

2. Spacing: If patient has spacing in between the teeth are more than it will take longer time.

If patient has gaps in teeth along with condition like severe crowding than the treatment duration may take even more time up to one and a half year.

3. Age: Age plays a best role in how aligners will work for the respective case.
