In order for treatment to progress at the prescribed rate, you must wear your Invisalign aligners all the time, aside from eating and cleaning your teeth. In fact, we strongly recommend that you wear them for at least 22 hours per day. The longer that you take your aligners out, the less impact they can have upon your teeth, thereby increasing your total treatment time. Having full control over your treatment is often considered an empowering experience rather than a nuisance!
