One of the basic rules of successful Invisalign treatment<\/a> is that you should wear your aligners for 20 \u2013 22 hours each day (the closer you can get to 22 hours, the better). That might seem like a challenge. After all, 22 hours amounts to more than 90% of the time each day! However, you can be confident that meeting your Invisalign wear time is a realistic goal. This blog post explains why compliance is so vital, and it provides some tips to help you keep your aligner trays in your mouth as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Invisalign works because it applies gentle, sustained pressure to the teeth in order to move them over time. Whenever you take your aligners out of your mouth, that pressure is no longer there. If you remove your aligners for too long, your teeth may not make proper progress. You could end up delaying your final results. Plus, when you try to switch to a new aligner, it could be extremely uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
