Answer: As a general rule, there is no such thing as too much brushing of teeth
The most you can rotate a tooth just using the aligners is 40 degrees. If you use buttons and elastics then you can rotate 180 but of course your treatment will take longer.
It has to fall within the guidelines on the contract. Vivera will only cover a warranty retainer if it has been 6 months or less I believe since your last one was delivered. If you are currently in treatment then the Dr can order one no problem.
I use a Hawley appliance to move just one or two teeth. You can wear it full time or at night only if you like. I have my patients come in one a month to tighten the springs.
