Invisalign aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours a day to be effective. They should only be removed when eating, drinking anything other than water, or brushing and flossing your teeth.

Invisalign aligners should be changed every 1-2 weeks, depending on your treatment plan. Each set of aligners will gradually shift your teeth into the desired position.

No, you should remove your Invisalign aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This helps prevent staining and damage to the aligners.
