Compliance is key for successful results<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the process is carried out in the comfort of your own\nhome. The aligners come as a series and you can work through the series without\nhaving to visit the dentist very often. However if you are to straighten your\nteeth successfully with these invisible braces then compliance and dedication\nis key. Each of the aligners needs to be worn for approximately 2 weeks and\nthey need to remain in your mouth full time. By full time we mean 20 to 22\nhours a day taking them out only for eating, drinking and brushing your teeth.\nIf you wear them for less than 18 hours in a day your teeth will move in the\ndirection we want them to for 18 hours and then they will move back into their\noriginal positions for the next 6 hours which means you will only gain about half\na day’s benefit at the most. If you drop below 18 hours a day then you will\nneed to add another day to the entire process. Even at 18 hours a day the\ntreatment will not be as productive. Therefore it is important that you wear\nthe aligners for at least 20 to 22 hours and put a timer on your watch or\nmobile phone to remind you how long they have been out of your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For best results you need to wear your aligners constantly. In\nthis way you will find that your teeth fit smoothly into the next set of\naligners. If you do not wear the aligners properly then they may not grip all\nof your teeth correctly which will prolong the treatment time. To get your\ntreatment back on track you may require extra scans and new aligners and this\nwill be timely and costly for you. With good compliance you can straighten your\nteeth in as little as 6 to 12 months with Invisalign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hold on to your aligners!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another good tip is to retain your old aligners when you finish with them. If you accidentally lose or damage your current aligner then you can always wear your previous aligner until you receive a replacement. This can prevent your teeth from falling back into their original positions. It helps keep your treatment on track. The aligners will have a handy travel case and it is important that you keep the aligners in the case when they are out of your mouth to prevent any scratches or damage. It is also important to remember that you keep your aligners clean, brushing them with a toothbrush and toothpaste and rinsing them with cold water before you put them back in your mouth. Look after your aligners and you will achieve excellent results with us. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
