It depends on severity of case and assesed by your dentist.
Treatment depends on the severity of your problem. The shortest time might be a month or 2 however very few people fall into this category.
Invisalign should not be done based on time. It should be done based on outcome however long that takes. In addition, you will be wearing retainers for the rest of your life.
6 months
Invisalign 5 treatment is only 5 aligner stages. Depending on how long your doctor wants you to wear each stage the treatment will be 5-10 weeks. This is only used in the most simple treatments and applies to very few patients.
It depends on how much needs to be corrected. Minimal corrections might be complete within 6 months. Ask the dentist/orthodontist who will be providing your care for better information.
It depends completely on the status of your needs. It can range from a few months to 2 plus years.
That depends on how many aligner trays are needed to correct the problem with understanding that additional trays may be needed for refinement. The standard is to change the tray every week, so 52 trays in either upper or lower would be a year.
