If I Am an Invisalign Patient, Should I Keep Changing Out my Trays?
We have updated our guidance for Invisalign patients. The decision for how to proceed depends on where you are in your treatment.
For patients who are somewhere in the middle of treatment, and do not have any Interproximal Reduction scheduled, please proceed with regular week changes, as long as the aligners are fitting perfectly.
For patients who do have Interproximal Reduction prescribed in your treatment, the doctors request that you stop advancing through the aligners, and stay in the existing aligner. One of the doctors will do their best to reach you to review the instructions. We have provided more detailed instructions in the following YouTube video:
For patients who are near the end of their set of aligners or will run out of aligners while the office remains closed, please review the instructions in the following YouTube video.
