The Invisalign trays are removable, and it can be tempting to take them out more than recommended \u2013 but in order for the treatment to work, you really need to wear them 22 hours each day. Fortunately, we have tips for meeting the Invisalign wear time! Your Orange Park dentist explains more below.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Getting Your 22 Hours In<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 22 hour recommended wear time only gives you 2 hours to go without Invisalign each day. You can achieve that by keeping the following in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You\u2019ll need to remove the aligners to eat, for sure \u2013 so planning the length of your meals can help. Take 15 minutes at breakfast, 30 minutes at lunch, and 60 minutes at dinner. Doing this will give you plenty of time for a quick snack and to brush and floss your teeth at night and in the morning.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Download and use the Tray Minder app, which helps you make sure you are meeting the recommended wear time throughout the day.&nbsp;<\/li><li>You can soak your trays in a glass of water with the cleaning crystals while you eat dinner \u2013 this multitasking will save you cleaning time.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Make sure you brush, floss, and rinse your mouth with mouthwash immediately after your meals and before you re-insert your trays.&nbsp;<\/li><li>You can prevent soreness \u2013 and the urge to remove the aligners \u2013 by switching to a new tray before you go to bed at night.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Avoid Other Treatment Delays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to ensure that you breeze through your treatment to enjoy your straight teeth and beautiful smile as soon as possible is to wear the aligners for 22 hours daily. But another common cause for treatment delays is lost or damaged trays. You can protect yourself against this mistake by ensuring that you put your trays in their protective case anytime that they are not in your mouth or soaking with the cleaning crystals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know a little bit about how to protect yourself from delaying your beautiful results with Invisalign, you can feel confident marching through your treatment plan. But don\u2019t hesitate to reach out to your dentist with any further questions and Invisalign tips in Orange Park! They\u2019re here to help you get the results you\u2019ve been dreaming of.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet the Dentists<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Steven Crovatto and Dr. Megan Edwards work together to provide superb care for patients of Crovatto &amp; Edwards Family Dentistry.
