Invisalign results last just as well as traditional braces as long as you wear your retainers regularly as your Dentist recommends. Usually I recommend wearing them to bed every night for as long as you want your teeth to remain straight. They will move if not maintained.
How long do Invisalign results last?
I have always had straight teeth, but they started to shift when I turned 23 (I'm 24 now and they are still shifting). If I get Invisalign and straighten my teeth, will the results be permanent, or will I have to worry about shifting again?

A: As long as retainers are worn!
Invisalign is a wonderful way to straighten teeth that have shifted after braces. Once invisalign has achieved the goal of straightening the teeth, a retainer must be worn every night to maintain the teeth in the position. If this is done, the teeth should stay straight as long as the retainer is worn.
