By wearing nearly-invisible aligners for a year, you can get the aligned smile you\u2019ve always wanted! However, wearing your trays long enough each day might be challenging. After all, successful treatment depends on having them in your mouth 22 hours a day! That said, you\u2019ll need to keep track of the aligners if you want a new smile anytime soon. Luckily, some things can help you do that. To learn more, here are five tips to improve your Invisalign wear time from Vienna dentists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cWhy Do I Need to Wear the Trays 22 Hours a Day?\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t wear your trays for the necessary 22 hours, chances are that you\u2019ll end up delaying or complicating treatment. Invisalign aligners nudge teeth through micro-movements, meaning they need to be in contact with your pearly whites to move them. Naturally, then, short wear times result in longer and longer treatments. In fact, they can even allow your teeth to move back to their crooked positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Five Tips for Meeting the 22-Hour Mark<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you practice the right tips and habits, keeping your trays in for 22 hours each day shouldn\u2019t be too hard. Therefore, try out the ones below to see significant improvements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Make Your Trays Part of Daily Oral Care<\/strong>: Every time you brush, floss, or rinse, re-insert your trays. Eventually, you\u2019ll make it a habit and put them back in after each teeth-cleaning.<\/li><li><strong>Only Remove Them at Meal-Times<\/strong>: When it comes to meals, take out your trays for 15 minutes at breakfast, 30 minutes at lunch, and 60 minutes at dinner. This practice will give you enough time for the occasional snack and your oral hygiene routine.<\/li><li><strong>Don\u2019t Use Your Phone While Eating: <\/strong>This could distract you from putting your aligners back in after a meal.<\/li><li><strong>Save Time by Multi-Tasking<\/strong>: While your trays are out during your meal, place them in a glass of water with cleaning crystals. That way, they\u2019ll be ready to go back in your mouth right when you finish.<\/li><li><strong>Switch to New Trays Right Before Bed:<\/strong> This practice will lower your discomfort since you\u2019ll be asleep during the straightening. That way, you won\u2019t be tempted to take your aligners out.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While meeting your Invisalign wear time in Vienna may require some changes to some routines, it\u2019s easily achievable with suggestions like those above.
