Invisalign - How long does it take to get your aligners?

I went to my dentist several weeks ago and got my imprints and pics of my teeth for my Invisalign. I was wondering how long it will take for my dentist to get my aligners? I am so excited to start the treatment and have become impatient.

A: It is dependent upon your doctor's approval of the treatment

Matt Walton, DMD

It will take anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks to get your aligners.  The amount of time it takes depends on how long it takes your doctor to approve the treatment that Invisalign sends to him or her. Difficult treatments may require more modifications to the treatment plan.

A: It takes aproximately 10 days to two weeks to get the aligners in.

Ryan Sellinger, DMD

After all of the records are made, it takes aproximately 10 days to two weeks to have the aligners fabricated.

I am on week two of my Invisalign. Like you I was super exicted to get started. It took about 5 weeks for my Invisalign to arrive. But now they are here and I am HAPPY!

Mine took like 2 months to arrive (arrrgh it drove me crazy haha). I live in New Zealand if that has anything to do with the wait?
