i recently started invilign treatment should i wear it continues for 15 hours skipping breakfast
Q. Hi, I have recently started invilign treatment and am wearing my aligners for about 21-22 hours a day, taking them out for about 20 mins at 5 times a day for meals. I was told by my orthodontist that to get the benefits I should try to wear my aligners for 15 hour straight without taking them out by skipping breakfast in the morning, can you tell me if this accurate, Do I need to wear my aligners for 15 hours straight in order for them to work ie. for teeth movment. thanks.
A. I do not recommend skipping breakfast- I am a strong believer that breakfast is the most important meal of the day!!!
As long as you are wearing your invisalign appliance for as long as possible, then it will work. By the sound of it- wearing them 21 hours a day sounds fine. I would say continue as you are…..but discuss ant concerns with your orthodontist though. Good luck and don’t forget to eat your weetabix!
