Treatment planning time (3–5 business days) is AlignerHub's published figure. Manufacturing and shipping times are the values you entered above, since these vary by manufacturer, order volume, and destination — there's no single verified industry-wide figure for either step. Revision rounds assume each round takes roughly the same time as the initial planning review. This estimate uses business days and doesn't account for holidays or customs delays on international shipments.

Common Questions

How long does clear aligner treatment planning take?

With AlignerHub, treatment plans are typically delivered within 3–5 business days of receiving a patient's full records.

What adds to total turnaround time beyond treatment planning?

Manufacturing time (printing, thermoforming, trimming, and packaging) and shipping transit time. Both vary by manufacturer and location, so they aren't universal figures — ask your specific manufacturing partner or courier for their quoted times.
