🦷 Before you start Invisalign or clear aligner treatment, ask yourself this
🦷 Before you start Invisalign or clear aligner treatment, ask yourself this question: “Can I really wear my aligners 20–22 hours a day?”
*disclaimer: i’m not trying to say that aligners don’t work. they will work, only if you are wearing them :)
Clear aligners are removable. The success of treatment depends heavily on compliance. Think about your daily routine. Every time your aligners are out, your teeth are not moving according to the treatment plan.
You’ll need to build habits around:
✅ Removing aligners before eating
✅ Brushing and flossing before putting them back in
✅ Wearing them consistently throughout the day
This isn’t to say aligners don’t work — they absolutely can be an excellent treatment option for many patients.
But the best orthodontic appliance is only effective when it is used correctly.
Before choosing aligners, consider whether your lifestyle matches the level of commitment required. 🦷
