Invisible braces usually need to be worn for 1 to 3 years, but the specific time will be affected by a number of factors, such as the complexity of tooth deformity, the age of the patient, the compliance of wearing, the frequency and adjustment of follow-up visits, individual differences, etc. 1. The complexity of tooth deformity If the tooth deformity is more serious, such as severe crowding, malocclusion, etc., then the time required for correction tends to be longer. Because it takes more steps and time to gradually move the teeth to the correct position. 2. Age of the patient Generally speaking, teenagers 'teeth move relatively fast and the correction time may be relatively short. Adults' teeth and jaws are mature and the teeth move relatively slowly, so the wearing time may be extended. 3. Wearing compliance Whether the patient wears invisible braces strictly according to the requirements has a great impact on the time of correction. If the braces are not worn regularly or replaced according to the prescribed time, it will slow down the correction progress and prolong the wearing time. 4. Frequency and adjustment of follow-up visits Regular follow-up visits are very important to monitor the progress of correction and adjust the treatment plan in time. If the follow-up is not timely or adjusted improperly, it may also affect the correction effect and time.5. Individual differences Everyone's tooth movement speed and body reaction are different, some people may complete the correction within the expected time, while others may take longer. In the process of wearing invisible braces, patients should strictly follow the doctor's instructions, including correct wearing braces, maintaining oral hygiene, and returning to the doctor on time. This can improve the correction effect, minimize the wearing time, and also reduce the problems that occur during the correction process.
