How long does Invisalign take?

One of the most common questions we hear is how long treatment will actually last. The answer depends on your specific smile and how consistently aligners are worn.

On average, Invisalign treatment takes about 3 to 18 months. Minor adjustments may be completed in just a few months, while more complex cases can take a year or longer.

The biggest factor in staying on track is wear time. Aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day. That consistency makes all the difference in keeping treatment moving efficiently and avoiding delays.

The good news is that you will not be guessing. At McCranels Orthodontics, every patient receives a personalized treatment plan. From the start, you will know your expected timeline and what to anticipate along the way.

Are braces really necessary?

It’s a question many parents and adults ask, and the honest answer is that orthodontic treatment is usually elective. But that doesn’t mean the concerns go away on their own.

Moderate to severe jaw and tooth alignment issues rarely resolve with age. In fact, teeth continue to shift year after year, which can lead to increased crowding, uneven wear, and discomfort over time.

From a functional standpoint, properly aligned teeth make it easier to chew and digest food comfortably, supporting long-term oral health. Alignment is about how everything works together.

And when it comes to appearance, research consistently shows that improving your smile can positively impact confidence, relationships, and even career success. Many patients tell us they feel more comfortable smiling, speaking, and showing up as themselves once treatment is complete.

At McCranels Orthodontics, we focus on helping families understand their options so they can make informed decisions at the right time for them.

If you have been wondering whether braces or Invisalign are truly necessary, a consultation can give you clarity and peace of mind.

One thing we hear from parents all the time is how surprised they are after orthodontic treatment begins.

They expect pushback, discomfort, or constant disruption to their routine. What they don’t expect is how quickly their child adjusts, how smooth appointments actually are, and how little it impacts day-to-day life.

Many parents tell us their kids are proud of their progress, more confident than they anticipated, and excited to see changes happen over time. Others are surprised by how supported they feel as parents. We focus on clear communication, realistic expectations, and being a team that truly knows their family.

At McCranels Orthodontics, our goal is to make orthodontic care feel manageable, encouraging, and even positive for the whole family.

If you’ve been wondering what the experience is really like once treatment starts, we’re always happy to talk it through. Schedule a consultation and get your questions answered with no pressure

What no one tells you before starting Invisalign…

Most patients expect Invisalign to feel complicated or disruptive. What they’re often surprised by is how easily it fits into everyday life.

You can take aligners out to eat.
You can brush and floss normally.
You can keep your routine, your schedule, and your confidence.

Many adults tell us they waited longer than they needed to because they assumed orthodontic treatment would be uncomfortable or obvious. Invisalign is designed to be clear, comfortable, and effective, making it a popular option for busy adults who want to improve their smile without pressing pause on life.

At McCranels Orthodontics, we create personalized Invisalign treatment plans for teens and adults, with a focus on comfort, results, and long-term confidence. Free consultations and flexible payment options make getting started easier than you might think.

A letter to the parents putting themselves last

It’s discreet, comfortable, and flexible enough to work around busy schedules, meetings, school drop-offs, and everything in between. Many parents are surprised by how easy it is to finally prioritize their own smile.

At McCranels Orthodontics, we offer Invisalign and braces for adults in a supportive, family-focused environment right here in West Palm Beach. Free consultations and flexible payment options make getting started easier than you might expect.

Get to know Dr. Quinn

Dr. Stephanie Quinn was drawn to McCranels Orthodontics for its warm, family-focused environment and strong connection to the local community, values that closely align with her own. While she was born and raised in New York, Florida always felt like home. After graduating from the University of Miami, joining McCranels Orthodontics felt like a natural next step.

Dr. Quinn’s passion for orthodontics began early. A childhood accident led to dental trauma, and the care and kindness she received during treatment left a lasting impression. That experience inspired her to pursue a career where she could provide the same comfort, confidence, and life-changing results for others. She went on to complete her dental training at Stony Brook School of Dental Medicine and earned her orthodontic credentials at Seton Hill University.

Known for her thoughtful and approachable style, Dr. Quinn believes great orthodontic care starts with trust. She takes the time to make patients feel comfortable and confident, whether they are children starting braces or adults exploring Invisalign. Her ability to connect with patients has made a strong impact on the practice, and Dr. Scott is thrilled to have her enthusiasm and communication skills on the McCranels Orthodontics team.

Now settled in Florida and a Certificate holder from the American Board of Orthodontics, Dr. Quinn is proud to help patients discover the same confidence she once gained through orthodontic care.

When it comes to straightening teeth, many parents wonder whether it really matters who provides orthodontic care.

Here’s the difference.

An orthodontist completes additional years of specialized training focused entirely on tooth movement, jaw alignment, and bite correction. This matters because braces and Invisalign are not only about aesthetics, they are also about how teeth function together long term.

At McCranels Orthodontics, orthodontic treatment is planned with growth, development, and stability in mind. This is especially important for children. The ideal age for an orthodontic evaluation is around 7, when early signs of crowding or bite issues can be identified and monitored. Early guidance can often reduce the need for more complex treatment later.

We also care for teens and adults every day. Whether you are considering traditional braces or Invisalign, treatment is customized to your lifestyle and goals. Many adult patients in West Palm Beach tell us they wish they had started sooner.

Orthodontic care should feel clear, comfortable, and manageable. That is why we offer free consultations and flexible payment plans to make treatment accessible for families and adults alike.

If you have been unsure about when to start or who to trust with your smile, this is your sign to take the first step.

We treat adult patients too!

One of the biggest surprises we hear at McCranels Orthodontics is how many adults walk through our doors thinking they are the exception. The truth is, adult orthodontic treatment is more common than ever.

Many adults start treatment because they never had braces as a teen, or because their teeth have shifted over time. Others are preparing for a new chapter in life and want to feel more confident in their smile. Whatever the reason, it is never too late to invest in yourself.

Thank you to our lovely patient, who chose traditional braces, for the video!

We also treat many adult patients using Invisalign, which offers a subtle and comfortable option that fits easily into busy work schedules, family life, and social commitments. Appointments are efficient, treatment is customized, and the results can be life changing.

Orthodontic care is not just about appearance. Proper alignment can improve bite function, make teeth easier to clean, and support long term oral health. Many adults are surprised by how simple the process feels once they get started.

If you have been thinking about straightening your teeth but assumed it was too late, too noticeable, or too complicated, we would love to change that perception.

Thinking About Braces or Invisalign? Here’s What Happens at Your First Visit 🦷

At McCranels Orthodontics, your first visit is all about getting to know you and your smile in a relaxed, welcoming environment. From the moment you walk in, our goal is to make both parents and patients feel comfortable, informed, and confident.

Your initial consultation is completely complimentary. During this visit, our team will gently evaluate your teeth and bite while learning about your goals and any concerns you may have.

We’ll take diagnostic records such as photos, X-rays, and digital impressions. These allow our doctors to fully understand how your teeth are positioned and help create the most effective treatment plan. Digital impressions mean no messy molds and a more comfortable experience.

You’ll then sit down with one of our orthodontists, Dr. Scott McCranels, Dr. Alvarez, or Dr. Quinn. They will walk you through the findings, explain whether treatment is recommended, and discuss the best options for you or your child. Everything is explained clearly so you feel confident moving forward.

During this visit, you’ll learn whether orthodontic treatment is needed, when the ideal time to start might be, whether braces or Invisalign would be the best fit, how long treatment could take, and what payment options are available.

We believe orthodontic care should feel straightforward and stress free. There is no pressure and no rush, just honest guidance and a clear plan tailored to your family.
