Are you considering Invisalign treatment and aren't sure which is right for you? You aren't alone! We have many patients reaching out, asking us whether Invisalign lite, moderate, or full is the right option for you. The clear aligners can help to address a variety of cosmetic dental concerns, but choosing the right one can be impossible. We are here to walk you through each Invisalign treatment option so that you can see which is right for you and what fits your needs.
All Invisalign treatment approaches follow a similar routine, where you will be invited for a consultation before we create your custom aligners to help you achieve your dream smile. The process can vary slightly when it comes to how long you need to wear your aligners and how many are needed. Each treatment approach is outlined for you below.
Invisalign lite works like other Invisalign treatments, but the goal is to treat minor orthodontic issues. You can expect your treatment to follow similar steps:
Invisalign Moderate works like other Invisalign treatments but is designed for moderate orthodontic issues, like bite issues. The treatment approach is similar, and you can expect it to follow the steps outlined below:
Invisalign full is designed for extensive adjustments and teeth alignment, where the aligners will help to move your teeth into the desired position. The treatment follows the following steps:
The treatment duration for Invisalign varies from a few weeks to 24 months, depending on the treatment you need and how severe the issues that you are attempting to address are.
Invisalign lite is one of the fastest Invisalign treatments and can take between a few weeks and six months to create your new smile. Minor alignment issues typically take a few weeks to address, while other cases can take up to six months. When you arrive for your consultation, we will provide you with a timeframe so you know how long your treatment will take.
Invisalign moderate treatments usually take longer than Invisalign Lite can and take between six months and one year. How long your treatment takes varies depending on the issues you are addressing and whether any adjustments need to be made to your treatment plan.
Invisalign full treatment is designed for more severe bite or alignment issues and comes with the longest duration. It can take anywhere from nine to eighteen months for the treatment to be completed, while some patients find they need 24 months before they have achieved their dream smile. The time it takes varies depending on how much work is required to address bite issues or move your teeth into their desired location.
All of the Invisalign treatments use the same technology and technological features to create your dream smile. The following three key elements make up the technology that Invisalign uses for its lite, moderate, and full treatments:
