How often do I need to wear Invisalign aligners?

For Invisalign to be effective the aligners should generally be worn for about twenty two hours each day. They should only be removed when eating, drinking beverages other than water and when brushing or flossing your teeth. Consistent wear ensures the aligners apply the correct pressure needed to gradually move your teeth. If the aligners are not worn regularly treatment may take longer than expected. At the Melbourne Smile Clinic in Northcote, our dentist will provide clear instructions about wearing and caring for the aligners throughout the treatment process.
