Invisalign® Clear Aligners
The answer is that the time it takes to complete treatment with Invisalign differs for every patient, depending on their unique needs.
For example, a patient who's had orthodontic treatment in the past and just has a few minor things to align will need less time in clear aligners than a patient who is trying to correct an overbite or underbite.
Achieving Great Results with Invisalign
Most people can complete their Invisalign treatment in around 12 to 18 months. However, compliance is truly the key to success with clear aligners in Blacktown. When you're committed to wearing your clear aligners for at least 22 hours every day, you will have the quickest results.
Some of the problems that Invisalign in Blacktown can correct are:
- Crooked teeth
- Gaps and spaces between teeth
- Teeth that overlap
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Crossbites
We Invite You to Contact Our Blacktown Clinic
Invisalign is not ideal for complex bite concerns, so the best way to determine if it's the right treatment for you and how long it might take is to schedule an evaluation with one of our dentists. During that time, they'll discuss your options with you and review the cost and timeframe for treatment if you move forward with Invisalign.
You can book an evaluation online by contacting our dental clinic.
One of the most important parts of getting amazing results with Invisalign is wearing your aligners consistently.
The general rule is to wear your Invisalign clear aligners for 20 to 22 hours daily. That means they should stay in your mouth all day and night. You can remove them only when you're eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing or flossing.
Skipping hours here and there may not seem like a big deal, but it can slow down your progress and even make your aligners fit improperly. The more consistently you wear them, the faster and more predictable your results will be.
To reduce bacteria buildup, we also recommend keeping your aligners clean before and after wearing them. We suggest cleaning your aligners with a soft-bristled toothbrush and mild, clear, fragrance-free soap. Invisalign also has a cleaning kit you can use.

Invisalign® clear aligners in Blacktown are a popular choice for straightening teeth discreetly. One of the most common questions we hear at Peak Dental Care is how wearing them affects speech.
Initial Adjustment Period
Initially, you may notice a slight lisp or difficulty pronouncing certain words as your mouth adjusts to the aligners. This is completely normal and temporary.
The aligners are made from thin, smooth plastic that conforms snugly to the shape of your mouth and teeth, so any impact on your speech is usually minor. Most people adapt within a few days to a week, and their speech returns to normal.
Tips for Getting Used to Clear Aligners
If you want to speed up the adjustment process, it’s helpful to practise speaking or reading aloud or simply talking more while wearing your aligners! The more you practice, the faster your mouth will adapt.
