Clear aligners are removable orthodontic appliances that won't fix on your teeth like metal braces. Invisalign aligners are one type of clear aligners that orthodontists use for straightening your teeth. The success in orthodontic treatment with clear aligners or Invisalign aligners is primarily depends on how long you wear your aligner trays. A great treatment plan won't be delivered with lack of patient's compliance. Traditional braces are a better choice for patients that don't want to wear their clear aligner invisalign trays.
What is the optimal clear aligner Invisalign wear time?
22 hours a day is the optimal time to wear your aligners. Benefits of invisalign or clear aligners in general is the fact that one can remove them during certain activities through the day. Lisps is one of the reasons that patients don't wear their aligners especially in adults.
What is clear aligner therapy aka invisalign treatment?
Clear aligners are series of trays that cover your teeth and incrementally move them to straighten your teeth. You need to change these aligners between 5-14 days depending on the recommendation of your dentist or orthodontist. You wear invisalign or aligners most of the day and remove them when eating food, brushing or flossing. New set of aligners take the tooth movements and carry the rest of the treatment. With traditional metal braces you visit your orthodontist for adjusting the wires every 4-10 weeks. You need a retainer after the treatment no matter how your teeth were moved - braces or invisalign .

she's so pretty guys...
Is it ok if on a day or 2 say the holidays , someone’s bday etc... you wear it 21 hrs? Also what if let’s say on a day I had them off for 45 minutes and then it’s night time can I have them off for 60-75 minutes in a restaurant or such and it’s ok since it still comes out to 22 hrs
Yes
@@PersonalizedOrthodontics yes to both? Won’t add more time if I have 21 hrs 2-3 times a month for example?
@@socialmediag5485 22 hours is the idea. One day here and there off is fine.
What if you have it on more than the 22 hrs though . Because your timing is too late, so u just keep it in to make up the next day?
That make sense yet moving the teeth efficiently at the ideal rate is more about consistency. Once or twice is ok but going about the treatment using the protocol you are suggesting is not ideal.
Does it matter if you have more meal breaks for shorter times? So at the moment i'm having 4 meals a day for around 30 mins.
That should be fine 😁
Would I be able to have a 4-6 hour period of not wearing my aligners? I really want to be able to go out late without my aligners to a club LOL. And I would want to do this once a month, but I’m really scared this will hinder my progress greatly. My treatment is scheduled for 14 trays top and bottom, and for about 30-40 weeks. I really don’t want to delay the progress, but this “cheat” period for me is really important to feel some sort of normalcy again.
You should be fine as long as it is not very frequent good luck with your treatment
Do I need to wear it when I’m done with treatment?
Only retainers at night
What about 21 and 45 minutes, can we be a little more flexible
No 😉
How long this process takes ?
Each patient treatment plan is different and the treatment time varies
But I eat very slow 😢 and I eat A LOT
Braces might be a better choice for you
I've heard that braces whiten your teeth, is that also with an aligner?
Poor oral hygiene most of the time causes the white spot lesions, it is independent of how your teeth are moved braces or aligners. Good brushing and flossing can prevent that. Cleaning your teeth with aligners is a little easier compare to braces.
