For you to make progress in line with your treatment plan, you must wear your aligners full-time, removing only to eat, drink or brush your teeth. Failure to wear the aligners for the correct amount of time each day can result in treatment stalling and movements not progressing as planned – which we don’t want to happen!
Factoring in mealtimes and cleaning your teeth, your aligners should be in no less than 22 hours per day. Each stage of aligners is worn for 2 weeks at a time. After this, you should be ready to move on to the next stage of aligners in the sequence. If you can adhere to this you get your new smile faster.
