To achieve optimal results, individuals undergoing orthodontic treatment with Invisalign® must wear their clear aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day. Every day.
This means wearing the aligners at all times, except when eating, drinking non-water beverages, or brushing and flossing. Consistency is crucial to success with Invisalign. Removing the aligners too frequently or for extended stretches greatly increases the risk of uneven progress, extended treatment duration, or suboptimal results.
To stay on track, it’s important to integrate wearing Invisalign aligners into your daily routine. Each set of aligners gradually shifts teeth into place, typically over a couple of weeks. Consistently failing to wear Invisalign aligners as directed can make them feel tighter or uncomfortable, extend your treatment time, and affect the treatment’s ultimate success.
Following the recommended wear schedule ensures that your Invisalign treatment stays efficient and effective, helping you achieve your ideal smile as quickly and comfortably as possible.
