Would invisalign still work....?

Question

if you only used it 15 hours a day?

Answer 1

So...what does this mean?

You're eating for 9 hours a day?

I’m kidding!

I perfectly understand that you feel more comfortable without that thing in your mouth, especially when talking to people. Whatever their ads say, they’re not Invisible and you know you’re talking weird when wearing them!

Right now, I’ve been using Invisalign for the last three months and I know that people notice it but I don’t care because at least they’re noticing that I’m doing something to look better at the end. And even as weird as it looks or makes me sound, I think it’s still better than having painful  metal braces in my mouth.

Last time I went for my check up, I was told to be sure to wear my Invisalign for at least 21 hours, allowing 3 hours/day to eat. I confess that sometimes, I would forget to put my aligners back.  I even woke up one morning and realized with horror that I forgot to put my aligners back in after I brushed/floss before bedtime!

My orthodontist could see that my teeth were not moving as predicted.

Now, I’m wearing a watch with a timer each time I take my aligners off to eat and I never go past an hour.

I think in your case, wearing the aligners only 15 hours/day, you should be more worrying about NOT wearing the aligners for 9 hours/day. During that time, your teeth will just go back to were they were and you just doing a painful roller coaster on moving your teeth.

I think you really need to move your teeth, using the aligners and then keep them there. Each time you take off the aligners to eat, the teeth are just aching to go back to where they were, like an elastic band.

Answer 2

its best for 21 hours +, so i dont think so

Answer 3
