So I'm on my 11th of 19 invisalign trays, and for the last 6 trays or so, I've ONLY been wearing them to sleep. This means I'm only wearing them 7-8 hours a day as opposed to the 22 hrs a day that you're supposed to wear them. My current invisalign trays feel fine on my teeth, but when I looked in the mirror closely, I could see a bit of space between the tray and my teeth, meaning it's not fitting completely snugly.
What should I do? should I continue wearing my trays (since they feel fine) even though they look like they are not fitting as tightly as they should?
For the record, I'm at college in another state, so my orthodontist has just given me the complete set of trays so I haven't been doing the bi-weekly checkups.
Invisalign Question: What if my trays stop fitting?
You really should be wearing them all the time.. without doing that they will not work properly, fit correctly or have the desired affect.
Keep with the tray that your using now - wear it the full 22 hours from now on and treat today as if it were day one of its use.... then you have to follow through with the rest of the treatment.
Invisalign is great because you can take it out if your going for dinner or on a date or anything for an hour here and there... but its supposed to be in for the majority of your day... not only being used at night.
