Duration of Invisalign for crowded teeth

Cate Vieregger, DDS answers: How long to wear Invisalign for crowded teeth?

How long do you have to wear Invisalign? My teeth are very crowded and I wanted crowns, but they say that's too expensive. They said I should wear Invisalign. Please see my photo. I'm only 31, and have alot of teeth staining from drinking well water as a kid, so I need some kind advice, thanks.

Invisalign wear varys from case to case. It is a great option to get more ideal alignment and a pretty broad smile. Many patients do Invisalign first to get a more ideal end rsult to cosmetic dentistry. They choose to align the teeth first, whiten with your final trays and then often times they only need to veneer a few teeth to get the beautiful smile of their dreams. It allows for more conservative treament plans which preserve your natural tooth enamel.
