I forgot to put my elastics in one night and had them out for about 10 hours. Will that effect outcome?

Question

I am scheduled for 18 trays to change weekly (Thank you Acceledent!) and am currently on tray 9. I am fixing a crossbite/underbite closing gaps and extruding 2 teeth. Thanks in advance... I can't wait to be done but am thankful the process hasn't been too bad and also that I can change these trays every week!

Skipping few hours here or there will not affect your
treatment as long as you are good the rest of the time.

My name is dr. Kenneth Barton I am an Invisalign Elite premier provider. That being said leaving your elastics off for only one day will have absolutely no deleterious affect on your result. Good luck.

Lawrence Singer, DMD (in memoriam) · Answer

No you should be fine.  Just try to be as consistent as possible going forward.  Good luck and enjoy your new smile.
