Is it normal to leave Invisalign in all the time?
To achieve the best result with dental aligners (including Invisalign), wearing the aligners 20-22 hours per day seems to achieve the best results. The length of time per aligner can vary from 7-14 days, depending on the malocclusion. This regimen has worked best in our offices since the inception of aligner treatment. READ MORE
