It\u2019s no small wonder that so many patients are eager to start their clear aligner treatments! As convenient as Invisalign is, though, it does require some dedicated effort to stay on-track with your treatment. If you don\u2019t wear your trays for at least 22 hours per day, your teeth won\u2019t align properly and could put you behind schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trying to crunch the numbers to calculate your Invisalign wear time can be daunting. Maybe you wish you could hire an accountant to do the math for you. Before you start hanging up job posters, read through these helpful tips!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Give Yourself Buffer Times<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re driving to a new location you\u2019ve never been to before, do you leave a few minutes early, just in case you can\u2019t find it or encounter traffic? Giving yourself a buffer is a good way to ensure you arrive on-time, and it can help you meet your Invisalign wear times. Leave a good 15 \u2013 20 minutes out of your calculations. That way if life gets complicated and you can\u2019t wear your aligners exactly as scheduled, it\u2019s not the end of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Forget to Eat \u2013 And Schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You have to eat to keep your energy levels up and stay motivated during your treatment! Meals will most likely be when you remove your aligners for the longest amount of time, so it\u2019s especially important to consider when and how you\u2019ll budget food breaks. Some patients like to allocate 15 minutes for breakfast, 30 minutes for lunch, and 60 minutes for dinner, which allows for a 15-minute buffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever sort of meal schedule works best for you, try to eat at the same times every day. This will help you build a routine and make it easier to stay within your temporal budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Streamline Your Tasks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every second you\u2019re not wearing your Invisalign counts, but with some strategic multi-tasking, you can wield your 2 free hours more efficiently. For example, if you invest in Invisalign cleaning crystals, you can soak your aligners while you eat, reducing time spent on maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consolidating your treats, too, will make a big difference. Instead of eating breakfast, driving to work, and then drinking a coffee, you could simply enjoy both at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practice Makes Perfect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It might take a moment to adjust to your Invisalign wear time plan. Keep in mind that practice does make perfect. The more consistently you stick to your schedule, the easier things will get. Before long, you\u2019ll be able to appreciate a newly straightened smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Cedric Chenet has a wealth of experience \u2013 both in dentistry and interacting with different cultures across the globe!
