What is Invisalign Express?
Invisalign Express is a kind of orthodontic therapy that utilizes a similar set of clear aligners as Invisalign to treat minor dental concerns like tooth gaps, crowded teeth, and orthodontic relapse, as well as to prepare for tooth bonding, dental veneers, or other restorative dental procedures. It is normally used for teen and adult patients whose orthodontic problems can be treated with 10 sets of aligners or about 6 months of treatment time. See Clear braces costs.

FAQ for Invisalign Express
Who can be treated with Invisalign Express?
Invisalign Express has similar benefits to Invisalign only that Express expedites the process. Having said that, Invisalign Express does have some limitations. It will only be able to correct small problems with the teeth. Below are all the criteria for you to avail this treatment:
- Front teeth rotation is minimized
- A minimum of two millimeters of midline adjustment is required
- Minimum crowding or spacing of 2 mm per arch
- A minimum of 1.5 mm expansion is required for each arch
If you do not match these conditions, regular Invisalign express is the best option for you.

How does Invisalign Express compare with Invisalign?
Invisalign Express is an excellent option to correct minor orthodontic issues. For example, if you are experiencing a minor relapse following earlier treatment, this may be the best course of action for you. Because this type of treatment can correct minor issues, the time frame is less compared to those who have bigger orthodontic problems. Patients are scheduled to wear clear aligners for a period of between ten and twenty weeks.
On the other hand, Invisalign can treat the majority of orthodontic disorders in the same manner as traditional braces can. It will have a longer time frame as patients will have to wear 25 or more aligner sets that need to be replaced every two weeks.
