How does Invisalign work?
Patients wear a series of clear, plastic, custom-made trays over their teeth 20 to 22 hours a day. This leaves you with 2 – 4 hours for eating and oral hygiene. Each set of trays are designed to gently exert pressure on the teeth to rearrange their positions. As teeth move, the trays are replaced with new ones every two to three weeks until treatment is complete.
Wearing Time
Invisalign are worn almost all day long 20 to 22 hours everyday. The trays are changed every 2-3 weeks to accommodate tooth movement depending on the complexity of treatment and wearing time may be evaluated as treatment progresses.
Pros: By wearing them for the recommended time, your teeth will move as expected and your aligning trays ill not feel uncomfortable doing movement.
Cleaning
For the health of your teeth, gums and other parts of your mouth, cleaning your aligners throughout the day, especially after eating, is an essential part of treatment.
Pros: The upside to keeping your aligners clean is a healthy mouth.
