Are you looking for tips to maximize the effects of Invisalign treatment? VanLaecken Orthodontics is here to help you during the course of your treatment. We offer both Invisalign as well as Invisalign Teen to suit a variety of age groups. No matter how young or old you are, Invisalign may be a great option for you to consider when undertaking your orthodontic journey.

About Invisalign

Invisalign is a great option well suited to treating a variety of orthodontic situations. This technology was developed to be simple for patients like you as well as effective. These aligners were under research and development for 8 years to bring you the absolute best product. This doesn’t mean that there aren’t some rules you need to follow yourself.

When to Wear Your Aligners

Aligners will only be effective if you wear them as prescribed of course! Invisalign aligners require wear for 22 hours a day. This means that the majority of the time, aligners should be in place. One of our first tips to maximize the effects of Invisalign is to simply wear the product as you should. You should only remove Invisalign to maintain the aligners, as well as your teeth, and to eat. Having the flexibility to remove your orthodontic hardware also brings with it the responsibility to treat your teeth with care, and follow your orthodontist’s requirements.

You should wear your aligners to sleep. You should wear your aligners during the day. If you do this, the treatment is very simple!

Seeing a Qualified Orthodontist

Your Invisalign treatment is only going to be as effective as the orthodontist aiding your alignment. That’s why it’s important above all that you are involved with a practice like VanLaecken Orthodontics. At VanLaecken we not only have the experience that helps patients with Invisalign, we actively improve our own knowledge of the technology and work to make treatment more effective than ever before for patients like you. If you are seeking tips to maximize the effects of Invisalign, perhaps the most important thing you can do is seek an appointment with VanLaecken Orthodontics. We are happy to help you get the most out of your treatment with Invisalign!

Laura B.
Everyone is always very friendly and helpful. Made you feel comfortable every time we visited.
Michele S.
My son had a great experience getting his braces on! Or should I say it was seamless. Everyone was friendly and easy to work with.
Tiffany
I really like VanLaecken Orthodontics in Watertown! Everyone we came in contact with that works there had a smile and seemed genuinely happy. Once the doctor came in, he was quick and thorough while being friendly and hospitable at the same time. He even heard a question I had forgotten to ask him right after I shut the door so he calmly came back in and answered my question without making my child and I feel like we were a bother to him. Definitely somewhere I would recommend anyone! Great hospitality all the way around!
Brandi S.
Fantastic staff! Always welcoming! I'm now on my second child getting braces, and it's been a great experience!
Kayla M.
Vanlaecken Orthodontics has been a great experience for myself and our kids. Everyone is so kind and explains things thoroughly. I have recommended them to many friends looking for orthodontic care. We have seen Dr. Rob and Dr. Ryan and they are very personable and have great “bedside” manner. We appreciate their quality care for our kids.
Sarah S.
My child was very comfortable with the professional and friendly people. Beautiful office. I would definitely recommend this place.
Leisha M.
Always very friendly and knowledgeable. We travel from Sioux Falls and it’s always been worth it as they treat us very well!!
Sarah V.
Our son had a very complex mouth- he spent nearly 3 years in braces, but the care he received at VanLaecken Orthodontics was incredible. From the facilities to the front desk, assistants, and doctors, we could have not asked for better care.
Emily S.
Great experience. Highly recommend VanLaecken for orthodontic needs. My daughter began her journey on March 13, 2024. She got her braces off on June 10, 2026. An amazing transformation!! Thank you so much to everyone at VanLaecken!!
kristin O.
We came in from Houston to visit family and my daughter wire came loose. She was so uncomfortable. Called and they got me in same day and helped us free of charge! Highly recommend! Super sweet staff!
Brittany S.
Very accommodating and friendly. Had a slight emergency with a mouth piece (braces) during holiday weekend and someone met us there to fix it!
Bradley J.
With one son and another one almost done, I can tell you that Van Laecken is top tier for orthodontics. Their communication is great and the treatment results have been fantastic! Thanks so much for the quality care.

Understanding the Importance of Consistency

One of the key factors in maximizing the effects of Invisalign is consistency. Wearing your aligners for the recommended 20 to 22 hours a day is crucial for achieving the desired results within the projected timeline. Each set of aligners is designed to gradually shift your teeth into their correct positions, and failing to wear them consistently can prolong your treatment and hinder progress. It’s essential to develop a routine that incorporates wearing your aligners during your daily activities, whether at work, school, or home.

Additionally, maintaining a consistent schedule for changing your aligners is vital. Your orthodontist will provide a specific timeline for when to switch to the next set of aligners, typically every one to two weeks. Sticking to this schedule ensures that your teeth continue to move as planned. If you find yourself struggling with consistency, consider setting reminders on your phone or using a calendar to track your progress. Remember, the more diligent you are with your aligners, the sooner you’ll achieve that beautiful, confident smile you desire.
