1. Don’t eat with your Invisalign aligners on

Chewing with your aligners on can cause them to crack or break, which can disrupt your progress. It can also stain them. For your comfort and to protect your aligners, always remove them before eating.

2. Don’t forget to stick with your Invisalign routine

You can enjoy your holidays, eat and drink all you want, and still have your aligners do the work to straighten your teeth for you. All you need to do is remember to put them back on. One tip we give our patients is to set a few reminders on your phone, especially when you are out and about.

3. Don’t forget your Invisalign aligners case at home

Wherever you go, your handy Invisalign case should go to. This way when you remove your aligners, out and about, you can keep them hygienic. One alarm a day for this can come in handy too.

4. Don’t forget to wear your Invisalign aligners for 20-22 hours

To ensure that Invisalign works effectively, it’s important to wear them as instructed. Make sure to wear the aligners for at least 20 to 22 hours per day. The constant pressure is essential to gradually shift the teeth. Remove the aligners only for cleaning and eating and pop them on straight after you finish.

And remember, you can laugh and take all the selfies and holiday photos you want, your aligners are invisible 😉
