Hey Dr. Bailey, thanks for all the great content (I have watched almost all of them) and for developing Tray Minder, it's really user friendly and helpful 😊 I have a question about brushing and wearing trays for at least 22 hours a day. I was calculating if we wait 30 mins after eating before brushing (to protect the enamel), that would be 1.5 hours of wait time and only 0.5 hours for eating breakfast, lunch and dinner (10 mins per meal) if we want to achieve 22 hours of wear time. I just got started with invisalign last week and have been struggling to hit 22 or even 21 hours of wear time as I usually spend around 30 mins or more eating each meal, and more during social gatherings. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated! 😊 All the best with your invisalign journey too, and please continue to update us on your progress and thoughts! 😊
Hey Dr. Bailey, is it better to put back the aligners after a meal without a chance to floss and brush, or to not put the aligners back on until a few hours later when I get a chance to properly clean my teeth and mouth first? Sometimes right after lunch at work, my boss calls me in for a few hours meeting without notice. Not sure whether to risk cavity or risk going off track on the alignment.
Good luck. Hoping to start my treatment in the fall.
