How Long Does It Take to Widen Arch with Invisalign?

I am getting my arch widened to straighten teeth instead of IPR (Interproximal Reduction). Does it take a long time to widen the arch with Invisalign?

Invisalign great for arch widening and smile broadening

Invisalign is great for arch expansion which can help give a wider "Hollywood" smile as well as make space to alleviate the crowding. It is hard to put an exact time on it but usually takes between 6 and 10 months.

Arch expansion time with Invisalign will vary with each case

The forces generated with Invisalign are softer than with wires and brackets, and some arches need more expansion than others. The general rule of thumb is around 6 months, but can be much longer.

Widen your arches and broaden your smile with Invisalign

Invisalign is an excellent treatment for widening your arches and thereby broadening your smile, and it works quickly. In fact, one of the first things I notice in my patients as they begin treatment is their smile becomes bigger and wider due to the expansion of the arches.
