Getting the Most Out of Your Invisalign® Treatment
Invisalign® works best when your aligners are doing their job around the clock. The good news: staying on track is mostly about a few simple habits. Here's what our Houston patients need to know to keep their treatment moving smoothly from start to finish.
Wear Your Aligners 20–22 Hours a Day
Your aligners should stay in almost all the time — while you're working, sleeping, and going about your day. Only take them out to eat, drink anything besides water, and to brush and floss. Every hour outside of your aligners is time your teeth aren't moving, which can slow down your treatment or affect your results.
To help protect your enamel and keep your aligners clear, try to limit sugary or acidic foods and drinks during treatment, even during the short windows your aligners are out.
