Yes. Except while eating.
Invisaline or any Aligner therapy must be removed if you are eating or drinking anything except plain water do not want to damage your teeth by holding acid or sugar against them.
In general yes! Though the Aligners should be removed when eating and brushing the teeth, or if drinking dark or sugar containing liquids.
Yes, except when you are eating.
Yes, if you are in active treatment, Invisalign normally recommends a minimum wear time of 22hours/day in order to see results (which feels like "all the time"). You should take them out to eat and drink anything other than water, and clean your teeth/mouth before you put them back in.
You should be wearing your aligners 22 out of 24 hours/day. You can eat snacks with your aligners in, but you would have better time eating main meals without aligners. If you eat with your aligners, please take them out after to rinse them and your mouth.
To achieve the best result with dental aligners (including Invisalign), wearing the aligners 20-22 hours per day seems to achieve the best results. The length of time per aligner can vary from 7-14 days, depending on the malocclusion. This regimen has worked best in our offices since the inception of aligner treatment.
Yes. In order for Invisalign to work well, it needs to be worn all of the time.

Yea. More hours in the mouth the better! 20+
While clear aligners should be worn ALMOST all the time, it is important to remove them to eat and properly brush and floss your teeth after meals in order to avoid dental problems from developing
Hello,
Yes, this is very normal. Invisalign requires 22 hours per day for proper movement. Anything less and your teeth will not track properly.
Good luck to you with your Invisalign treatment!

Absolutely. In fact, the more time the aligners are on, the more time the teeth are effectively being straightened and thus the sooner you will complete your treatment.
Aligners should be worn 22 hours each day.
Hello!
In order for Invisalign to work optimally, the aligners should be worn all the time except mealtime, and while brushing your teeth...so 20-22 hrs out of 24 is best.

When you are being treated with any type of clear aligner system, it is important to wear your aligners for 20-22 hours per day.
Thanks!

No, you need some time out for eating and cleaning your mouth and the appliance. 22 hours of active wear is what has been suggested. Also you do not want to drink sweet,r acidic or milk liquids with trays in place.
