Nope, brush your teeth and the retainer, put them back in and go to bed. While you are sleeping the retainers can have their best effect
Not really! You may remove your Invisalign only when you are brushing and eating.
Well, only for about 10 minutes----night is when they work best!!
The effectiveness, accuracy, and efficiency of orthodontic treatment is directly correlated with the amount of time the appliances are in the mouth. A big advantage of Invisalign over traditional wire orthodontics is the ability to take them out to make brushing and especially flossing easier. The biggest disadvantage is that they don't have to be worn all the time. It is normal to recommend Invisalign be worn AT LEAST 22 hours a day. So, yes, you can take them out at night and miss out on all that time they are supposed to be repositioning your teeth, it will slow the process, and decrease the likelihood you will get the results you are wanting. But if none of that matters you CAN leave them out at night.
No. They should be worn while you are sleeping.
No, you need to keep your aligners in your mouth for at least 21 hours a day minimum.
Wear your Invisalign at least 22-23hrs of the day. Only remove them when you want to eat. Wear them while you are sleeping
