Tips to Maximize the Effects of Invisalign
VanLaecken Orthodontics
January 12, 2021

Are you looking for tips to maximize the effects of Invisalign treatment? VanLaecken Orthodontics is here to help you during the course of your treatment. We offer both Invisalign as well as Invisalign Teen to suit a variety of age groups. No matter how young or old you are, Invisalign may be a great option for you to consider when undertaking your orthodontic journey.

About Invisalign

Invisalign is a great option well suited to treating a variety of orthodontic situations. This technology was developed to be simple for patients like you as well as effective. These aligners were under research and development for 8 years to bring you the absolute best product. This doesn’t mean that there aren’t some rules you need to follow yourself.

When to Wear Your Aligners

Aligners will only be effective if you wear them as prescribed of course! Invisalign aligners require wear for 22 hours a day. This means that the majority of the time, aligners should be in place. One of our first tips to maximize the effects of Invisalign is to simply wear the product as you should. You should only remove Invisalign to maintain the aligners, as well as your teeth, and to eat. Having the flexibility to remove your orthodontic hardware also brings with it the responsibility to treat your teeth with care, and follow your orthodontist’s requirements.

You should wear your aligners to sleep. You should wear your aligners during the day. If you do this, the treatment is very simple!

Seeing a Qualified Orthodontist

Your Invisalign treatment is only going to be as effective as the orthodontist aiding your alignment. That’s why it’s important above all that you are involved with a practice like VanLaecken Orthodontics. At VanLaecken we not only have the experience that helps patients with Invisalign, we actively improve our own knowledge of the technology and work to make treatment more effective than ever before for patients like you. If you are seeking tips to maximize the effects of Invisalign, perhaps the most important thing you can do is seek an appointment with VanLaecken Orthodontics. We are happy to help you get the most out of your treatment with Invisalign!

patient TESTIMONIALS

lussi N.
I was denied braces since I was a child. Being told by multiple different places that I needed all types of procedures ( and I did them all) just to still be denied. I have always been insecure about my smile. I remember coming here and thinking they are going to deny me ( cause I originally wanted another treatment) or tell me to get more procedures. I am 22 and have been fighting for my smile for 12 years. My first appointment was a screening. My second - I got my braces. My life has been changed and my Smile now exceeds the one I dreamt of. I couldn’t imagine a better team taking care of me. Thank you.
Kelsey F.
We've had a great experience with VanLaecken Ortho so far. Everyone we've worked with has been so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They're very timely and organized, and appointments have gone smoothly, excited to see the final results and bring our other kids here, too!
Stacy P.
We started braces 4 months ago and it has been such a smooth process. The staff have been amazing. They are great with explaining what they are doing and why at each appointment. We have seen so much happen in the 4 months we have started and can't wait to see the end results.
Clark A.
Wonderful, caring team of professionals who worked extra hard to get the insurance coverage for our son’s braces. Can’t say enough about how wonderful these people are!
Jonathan W.
Very thorough care, halfway though a program with my son. Great communications, informative.
Brittany A.
The care and kindness we receive here has been nothing, but great! The gained confidence in my daughters smile is the icing on the cake. 💜 highly recommend.
Zeljana K.
Love this place! I love how friendly and supportive the whole team is. They genuinely care about their patients and go the extra mile to make each visit a positive experience.
I’m so happy with my results and would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for high-quality orthodontic care!
Sara S.
The whole team at VanLaecken has been so amazing to work with. Starting with our initial consultation which answered all of our questions, to being able to call and get assistance after hours to help with a loose wire, squeezing us in when we something comes up and making sure my child is comfortable during every step of the process. The hygienists are so friendly and the Docs are the best of the best. It’s only been a few months but the results on my child so far have been astonishing. 1000/10 would recommend VanLaecken ortho for anyone who is considering orthodontic care.
Jael K.
Have been fortunate enough to be a patient of Vanlacken ! They have done an amazing job with making my smile perfect! When something wasn’t quite perfect they went right to work! Super friendly staff! Nice environment!
Megan
My daughter said all the staff were nice, kind, and gentle with her teeth and they did an excellent job!
Tara H.
Was so easy to get started. Take a few pictures, they emailed back. We were able to make monthly payments. We had put braces on my oldest daughter for a huge chunk of change, somewhere else. I was pleasantly surprised when my daughter ended up on the other side of the state and wanted braces that at VanLaecken their prices were half than what we paid in the past. Service was excellent and they were very accommodating around her college schedule. We are so in love with her beautiful smile.
Remi H.
Everyone is so nice and welcoming here! I really do feel comfortable and safe. Thank you for everything!
Alyssa K.
Not only did Dr Ryan fix my massive overbite and teeth to look perfect, he also helped both my sisters. Now we are bringing our daughter to VanLaecken to fix her teeth. Have always had such fantastic and friendly care while visiting, and always leave with my questions and concerns answered and listened to. Highly highly recommended anyone looking into orthodontic work to come see them!
MyLee R.
Cannot say enough good about them through my daughter’s process! All of the hygienists are so kind and patient! As is Dr Ryan. He went above and beyond for my family. Thank you!
Trista G.
We have had great experiences at this orthodontist location! Friendly staff. Not only do they do quality work, I greatly appreciate their efficiency and not having to wait in the waiting room a long time after check-in. Pam at the front desk is always helpful and friendly. The only thing that would be better is if they had a mobile unit to travel around! Sometimes it stinks driving so far for a 10 minute appointment but that’s our choice to live in small town. 😊

Understanding the Importance of Consistency

One of the key factors in maximizing the effects of Invisalign is consistency. Wearing your aligners for the recommended 20 to 22 hours a day is crucial for achieving the desired results within the projected timeline. Each set of aligners is designed to gradually shift your teeth into their correct positions, and failing to wear them consistently can prolong your treatment and hinder progress. It’s essential to develop a routine that incorporates wearing your aligners during your daily activities, whether at work, school, or home.

Additionally, maintaining a consistent schedule for changing your aligners is vital. Your orthodontist will provide a specific timeline for when to switch to the next set of aligners, typically every one to two weeks. Sticking to this schedule ensures that your teeth continue to move as planned. If you find yourself struggling with consistency, consider setting reminders on your phone or using a calendar to track your progress. Remember, the more diligent you are with your aligners, the sooner you’ll achieve that beautiful, confident smile you desire.
