How Often Should I Change Invisalign Trays?

Question

My ortho told me to change my invisalign tray every 11 days, is that ok to do?

Lance Timmerman, DMD, MAGD · Answer

While 11 days likely will work just fine, the "party line" is 14.

	 

	I know of a case where they changed every 7.  It worked, but the needed movements were fairly minor.

Michael J. Thomas, DDS · Answer

Should be no problem to rush the case if its ok with your orthodontist. Dont do it yourself! If he suggested it then its fine

R. William McNeill, DDS, MS · Answer

Invisalign tooth movement is planned for each aligner set to be used for 2 weeks. But, since all patients are different, your orthodonitst may prescribe longer or shorter time periods. And, since some teeth move more readily thanothers, the time interval may change as your treatment progresses. Rely on your orthodontist to tell you the time-frame and sequence that will work best for you!

Bruce Vafa, DDS · Answer

If you wear the Invisalign aligners ,24/7 , it should be changed every 2 weeks. This is the period Of tooth movement that was designed for each aligner to move the teeth.

Daniel W. Schiavone, DDS · Answer

BUT sometimes if things are going well and you want to rush the case, you can get away with every 11 days.
