From the severity of your misalignment to the number of trays you need, there are a number of factors that will influence the length of your Invisalign<\/a> treatment. One aspect that many patients forget to consider, however, is compliance. Neglecting to follow all of your orthodontist\u2019s instructions can quickly cause you to fall off-track with your timeline, requiring you to spend more time and money on treatment. Luckily, there are a few best practices you can implement to help you get back on track. To learn what they are, read on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1. Wear Your Clear Aligners More Often<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Remember, to effectively move your teeth, you need to wear your trays for at least 22 hours a day. If you\u2019ve eased up on that habit, there is no time like the present to start! To manage your time, allocate 15 minutes for breakfast, 30 minutes for lunch, and 45 minutes for dinner. The remaining 15 minutes you can use to brush, floss, and clean your aligners. Note: try using a timer to help you keep track of your wear time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2. Use Your Chewie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chewies are small, but they can play a big role in helping you stay on track with your original treatment plan. By chewing on them each time you put your trays back in, you can have confidence knowing that your aligners are on properly. If they aren\u2019t, then your teeth may not move into the positions they need to for the next tray, delaying your treatment further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3. Prioritize Your Check-In Appointments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every six weeks or so, you\u2019ll need to visit your orthodontist for a check-in appointment. Sometimes, this includes picking up your next set of trays. Other times, it\u2019s simply to ensure your teeth are tracking properly. Regardless, it\u2019s of the utmost importance that you don\u2019t skip these visits! If there is a complication, like your teeth aren\u2019t moving as they should, your orthodontist can provide detailed recommendations on what you should do to prevent any delays in the future. If you don\u2019t attend your appointments, you may not find out until it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4. Switch Your Trays on the Correct Days<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While some patients change trays every 14 days, others change every 10 or 7. The interval depends on your unique treatment plan, which is why it\u2019s so important that you stick with it. To help you remember, you can set up a reminder in your phone. Or, you can download the Invisalign app, input your treatment information, and have it send you a notification when it\u2019s time to change. These automated reminders will help you stay on track, ensuring you don\u2019t miss a single milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t want to fall off-track with your Invisalign treatment; that just means waiting longer to see your beautiful new smile! Fortunately, the above best practices will help prevent that from happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
