Invisalign treatment in South Huntington, New York, is popular among teenagers and adults looking for a discreet treatment. Using removable and minimally visible aligners, All City Cosmetic Dental Care can correct misaligned teeth and bad bites comfortably and conveniently.
Given that Invisalign is a relatively recent treatment, we frequently encounter many questions about it. One common question is whether one should wear aligners while sleeping. Keep reading to understand more about Invisalign treatment.
Invisalign uses removable aligners to apply controlled pressure on your teeth. Unlike metal wires and brackets securely attached to the teeth, Invisalign can be removed at will. However, Invisalign trays work when they are in contact with the teeth, so we recommend wearing the aligners for at least 20-22 hours daily. Failure to wear your aligners as directed will delay your treatment and increase the treatment cost.
Since you are required to wear your aligners almost full-time—only removing them when eating or cleaning teeth—it means you must wear your aligners when sleeping. Good news! Invisalign trays are customized to fit snugly over your teeth to allow normal breathing, so you’ll sleep comfortably without any disruptions.
Although Invisalign trays cause no problems when sleeping, here are a few things to consider to optimize your comfort.
Sleeping with aligners is perfectly comfortable, but talk to your dentist if you experience prolonged discomfort. We are here to ensure your Invisalign treatment is comfortable at all times.
