Made to move in half the time

The Invisalign system is designed for straightening teeth with a series of virtually invisible, clear plastic aligners which are custom-made for each patient. The discretion and effectiveness of the system has made it highly desirable, appealing to millions of patients who have been successfully treated with Invisalign treatment.  

Until now, the custom-made aligners were always recommended to be changed every two weeks to incrementally move patients' teeth towards their new position. However, recent technological advancement now allows Align Technology to recommend one-week aligner wear, provided their case is deemed suitable by their provider. This switch from two- to one-week wear is the result of fifteen years of perpetual product innovation, which has culminated in the combined use of new materials, features and technology. Because of this, weekly aligner changes may reduce treatment time up to 50 per cent compared with two-week changes, which means patients who are deemed suitable for one-week aligners, depending on their treatment option – Invisalign Lite and/or Invisalign Go – could see their treatment through to completion in as little as three months.
