What Happens After Your Invisalign Treatment is Done?

So you’ve worn the Invisalign trays for approximately 22 hours per day, for the required number of months (or years). Now what?

Well, after all of that dedication to wearing the trays, you will obviously want to do whatever it takes to keep them looking nice and straight. If you don’t, you just wasted a lot of time and energy getting to this point.

To maintain your perfect smile, this means lifelong commitment. It sounds intense, but it’s actually not that bad.

Your dentist will fit you for a retainer that you will have to wear around the clock for 6 months. After the 6 months has passed, you then only have to wear it at night, once your teeth have stabilized. Not so bad. It’s definitely worth it to be super confident when you smile now, right?

You risk orthodontic relapse if you don’t follow this, which is when your teeth slowly shift back to their original position. So basically if you ask if you really have to wear your retainers, the answer is: as long as you don’t want your teeth to move.

Here’s the bottom line: protect your investment and use your retainers!

When you are getting complimented on how great your smile is, you will WANT to wear them!

Your dentist will discuss the types of retainers that are available and most suitable for your upper and lower teeth.
