The longer you keep your clear aligners on, the closer you\u2019ll be to achieving a perfectly straight smile. However, you\u2019ll need to remove your trays when cleaning them and before eating any meals. This may make you wonder about the best ways to maintain your Invisalign wear time. Keep reading to learn three important tips to help make this routine simpler during your treatment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1: Snack Less Frequently<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While you won\u2019t have to worry about any food restrictions, you\u2019ll be required to remove your clear aligners before you can enjoy your favorite meals. You\u2019ll also need to clean both your teeth and Invisalign trays thoroughly before putting them back on to avoid bacteria and plaque buildup. This can often be time-consuming, especially if you tend to snack often. To avoid the hassle and maintain steady progress, you may consider watching how frequently you eat between meals. Try sticking to lean proteins and fiber-rich foods like nuts, veggies, and fruits to keep you full throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2: Soak Your Aligners During Meals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although you\u2019ll brush your clear aligners regularly after meals, you\u2019ll also need to soak them in cleaning crystals or similar substances to help remove plaque and debris particles. If so, how exactly will you be able to do this while also maintaining your 20-22 hour wear time? The simplest solution is to soak your Invisalign trays during mealtime. Not only will you get the nourishment you need, but you\u2019ll also keep your clear aligners safe and bacteria-free!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3: Avoid Scrolling Through Your Phone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you like to sift through your social media or watch videos on your phone enjoying your food? While this can be entertaining, the problem is that this can take too much time away from your Invisalign trays. You can end up spending an hour or two instead of merely 15-30 minutes without wearing your clear aligners! The more often this happens, the longer your orthodontic treatment might become. Make sure to put your phone away, and even avoid watching TV, so that you can focus on finishing your meal and putting on your clear aligners again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By practicing these few tips, you can successfully meet your 20-22 hour Invisalign wear time without much trouble. Once you finish the process, you\u2019ll be able to show off the perfectly straightened teeth you\u2019ve worked so hard for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Josh Branco is a member of several prestigious groups such as the Nevada Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, and the Northern Nevada Dental Society.
