How often do I need to wear the aligners each day?

For optimal results with any clear aligner orthodontic treatment, like SureSmile®, you must commit to wearing your aligners every day for between 20 and 22 hours.

That means always wearing your aligners and removing them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, flossing, and cleaning the aligners themselves. The biggest key to successful orthodontic treatment with clear aligners in Arvada is consistency. Removing your aligners too often or for extended stretches elevates the risk of uneven progress, prolonged treatment time, and underwhelming results.

To stay on track, you must integrate wearing the aligners into your daily routine. Each set of aligners—worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next set—gradually and gently shifts teeth into the desired position. Not wearing your aligners consistently as directed can make them feel uncomfortable, prolong treatment time, and hinder the treatment’s success.

Following the recommended schedule is vital to ensure a smooth and effective clear aligner treatment, with minimal discomfort!
