I suffer from overcrowding in the lower-frontal teeth area. This causes me some discomfort. However, I was wondering if my overcrowding could be too severe for Invisalign, but if not, should I expect a long treatment, or is there a more optimal solution for me? All my wisdom teeth have been removed, and I am 27 years of age.

Answer: You do the math
The most optimal tooth movement for Invisalign is 0.1mm per aligner. Therefore, find the most crowded teeth in your mouth. Measure how far off the alignment is. Multiply by ten (the amount of aligners needed). Then divide by 2 (2 aligners per month). That will tell you how many months of treatment is needed. Your case could go over 12 months.
If you finish faster, all the better. There could be unforeseen problems that might prolong the treatment.
Good luck!

Answer: Invisalign great for lower crowding.
Invisalign works great for lower crowding and the length of time required is different for every case. Most cases run about 8-12 months.
