They can be taken out at any time for cleaning or before meals, affording patients greater freedom than in the case of other kinds of orthodontics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, however, Invisalign can only work on straightening your teeth while you\u2019re wearing the aligners. That being the case, it\u2019s recommended that you wear them for 20-22 hours a day. This affords you just enough time to eat and clean your trays\u2014you should be wearing your trays when you aren\u2019t doing any of these things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will Invisalign Aligners Affect How I Speak?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You could be familiar with the lisp that is often associated with braces treatment, and you might wonder whether Invisalign can cause the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At first, you might find that it\u2019s a little bit harder to talk while you\u2019re wearing your trays and sounds that require you to press your tongue against the roof of your mouth in particular can be a bit difficult to deal with. However, this is something that can be overcome with practice. Take some time to work on speaking aloud when you first get your trays and eventually it will feel natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will My Invisalign Aligners Be Noticeable?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main selling points of Invisalign is the discreet nature of the clear aligners, something that most patients don\u2019t believe until they see it firsthand. So long as you take care of your aligners and keep them free from stains, it\u2019ll be almost impossible to see them while you\u2019re wearing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to learn more about what these thin plastic trays can do, talk to a dentist. They\u2019ll be able to tell you more about whether this procedure could be right for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Ira Newman was raised in Queens, and being able to help New Yorkers get straighter, stronger, more beautiful smiles is enormously rewarding for him.
