If you have ClearCorrect aligners<\/a>, you\u2019re probably eager to see the results of your treatment. Unfortunately, however, sometimes treatment progresses slower than your dentist may have anticipated. While it\u2019s understandable to be frustrated, don\u2019t lose hope. Your treatment may be taking longer than you\u2019re expecting for many reasons. Here are a few top causes this could be happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re Not Wearing Your Aligners Long Enough<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In order to see progress, you need to wear your ClearCorrect aligners for a minimum of 22 hours each day. You should remove them each time you eat or drink something other than water, and you must brush your teeth before putting them back on. If you don\u2019t wear them for the prescribed amount of time, this could slow the movement of your teeth and delay your treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Teeth Are Stubborn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes despite your dentist\u2019s best estimate, your teeth may not move at the speed in which their orthodontic tracking software has predicted. This is by no means anyone\u2019s fault; it simply means that your teeth may take a bit longer than anticipated to budge. If this is the case, just be patient. Eventually, they will move; they may just take a bit longer than you\u2019d like them to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Teeth Are Colliding Into Each Other<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes when the teeth are moved, they can cause somewhat of a collision that slows their progress. In these cases, your dentist will likely do an interproximal reduction, or IPR. This procedure will reshape your teeth to prevent this type of collision from occurring and ensure that they look nice and even when they\u2019re in proper alignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Aren\u2019t Doing Your Chewing Exercises<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your dentist has assigned you chewing exercises to complete while wearing your aligners, don\u2019t underestimate their importance. These movements help encourage your teeth to move in the right direction so that your treatment works faster and more accurately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, it\u2019s understandable to want to see the results of your ClearCorrect treatment as soon as possible, but sometimes it takes longer to complete than anticipated. The good news is that with time and patience, you will experience big changes. Don\u2019t be discouraged. Keep wearing your aligners and visiting your dentist on schedule, and your persistence will eventually pay off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
