Invisible aligners make it less obvious that you’re working to straighten your teeth. But even though Invisalign™ invisible aligners are clear and are hard to notice, they aren’t completely invisible. And with them being capable of being removed and replaced by the wearer, on the fly too, questions emerge: Can I wear Invisalign at night only? Is this a thing people do? Should it be?
What Makes Invisalign Work So Well
What makes Invisalign work so well is that so many people are more comfortable wearing them than conventional braces and the aligner trays can be removed anytime the wearer wants to do so. People hesitant to wear traditional braces are often more open to wearing invisible aligners.
Often times, Invisalign doesn’t straighten teeth as fast as traditional metal braces would. The reason: There’s always the temptation to take them out for a bit and all of those bits of time, here and there, add up.
Yes,
You Can Wear Them at Night Only. But You Probably Shouldn’t.
Orthodontists typically recommend you wear
Invisalign at least 20 hours out of every day, four hours less than
you’d be wearing traditional braces daily. Wearing your invisible
aligners at night only can halve the daily treatment time you
receive, possibly a lot more. So, a treatment plan that you
were projected to complete in a year has now ballooned to two years, possibly
a lot more.
