What Are the Consequences of Changing Invisalign Aligners Too Early?

Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move teeth into the desired position. To ensure successful results, it is essential to follow the instructions of your orthodontist and change the aligners as instructed. However, if you switch the aligners too soon, it can lead to “adaptation” errors in the interface between the aligner and the tooth. This means that the fit of the aligner will be compromised, even if you don't feel any difference in the teeth.

As a result, this adaptation error will be exacerbated with each subsequent aligner and may not be visible until several sets of aligners have been used. In order for Invisalign to be effective, you must wear your aligners for at least 22 hours a day and change them when your orthodontist tells you to. Although you can remove your aligners to eat and clean your teeth, you must wear them all day long to get the desired results. If you don't, you won't be able to achieve the straight teeth and attractive smile you've always wanted.

If you change your Invisalign aligners too early, it can have serious consequences.

The fit of the aligner will be compromised, leading to an improper fit and inadequate tooth movement. This can lead to a longer treatment time and may even require additional visits to your orthodontist. Additionally, it can cause discomfort and pain due to the improper fit of the aligner. Furthermore, it can cause damage to your teeth if the aligner is not properly fitted. It is important to follow your orthodontist's instructions when changing your Invisalign aligners.

Make sure that you wear them for at least 22 hours a day and change them as instructed. If you have any questions or concerns about changing your Invisalign aligners too early, contact Gladwell Orthodontics at (91) 453-6325.
