Clear aligners<\/a> are a revolutionary orthodontic treatment because they are largely independent. This means that your progress is in your hands: the more closely you comply, the faster and more successful your treatment will be. But what happens when your teeth aren\u2019t moving according to schedule? Here are some possible reasons why you\u2019re not getting the results your dentist predicted in your treatment plan, and what you can do about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Time Management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the main reasons people experience a delay in results with clear aligners is because they\u2019re not wearing them for 22 hours a day. If you have been taking yours off for longer than two hours each day, you could be slowing your progress, so be sure to meet the time requirements for best results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chewing Exercises<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, your dentist may recommend you complete daily or weekly chewing exercises to help loosen your teeth, so they move properly. If you are neglecting this step, your teeth may not move as quickly as predicted, so make sure you take the time to help them along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Individual Differences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes you can be doing everything right in terms of complying with your treatment plan, but your teeth may still not want to budge on schedule. If this is the case, don\u2019t give up hope. While it may take a bit longer to complete, your teeth will still move eventually. If you are concerned about this, however, speak to your dentist and see if there\u2019s anything you can do to speed things up (such as chewing exercises if you are not currently doing them).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tooth Collisions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A common issue some wearers of aligners experience is tooth collision: when your teeth bump into each other. If this is happening to you, your dentist might recommend interproximal reduction, or IPR, to reduce your teeth so they do not collide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, your aligner timeline is just an estimate, but how you care for your teeth and your own individual biology can also play a role in how long it takes. If your results aren\u2019t coming along according to schedule, speak to your dentist about what could be slowing them down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
