When thinking about the new smile you\u2019ll achieve with Invisalign<\/a>, you may be focused on the benefits and confidence you\u2019ll enjoy once treatment is complete. While that is fine, it\u2019s important to remember that a 22-hour wear time is essential if you want your straighter teeth to move into alignment on time. Read on to discover a few helpful tips that can help you reach this targeted timeframe each day and avoid an accidental delay in treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why is Wearing Invisalign for 22 Hours Important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To ensure that your teeth continue to move in the right direction, they need gentle yet continuous pressure. It is necessary that you wear your aligners for a designated amount of time (an estimated two weeks) before switching them out for the next set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If trays are not worn 20-22 hours each day, you risk causing a delay in your treatment, which will only put you further away from your desired results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign must remain in place for it to effectively shift your teeth into proper alignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Can You Do to Make Sure You Wear Your Aligners for 22 Hours?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It might seem as if wearing your aligners for a full 22 hours is impossible, especially when you think about needing to eat, drink, and keep your teeth (and Invisalign) clean, but there are ways to do it effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
