How Often Do I Need to Wear My Invisalign Aligners?
For the most effective Treatment, Invisalign aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day. This includes wearing them throughout the day and night, except when eating, drinking, brushing, or flossing. It is essential to wear the aligners as prescribed in order to ensure that the teeth move in the desired direction and within the optimal time frame. Failing to wear the aligners for the recommended amount of time can delay treatment progress and potentially extend the overall duration of the Invisalign process.
Consistency is key when using Invisalign, as wearing the Aligners for fewer hours each day can interfere with the treatment plan and slow down progress. Patients should make it a habit to wear their aligners regularly, removing them only for meals or to clean their teeth. Because Invisalign aligners are removable, patients have the flexibility to continue their normal activities without the restrictions that come with traditional braces, but commitment to wearing the aligners consistently is essential for achieving the best results.
