People often quit Invisalign because they underestimate the lifestyle commitment required for success. The requirement to wear the trays for twenty-two hours a day means that your entire schedule revolves around your “wear time.” Some find the constant cycle of removing trays, brushing, and reinserting them to be too exhausting or socially awkward, leading to a gradual decline in compliance. Others may experience “treatment fatigue” if their case takes longer than expected or requires multiple rounds of refinements. Occasionally, the initial discomfort or the persistent lisp makes a person feel too self-conscious to continue. Without a high level of motivation to achieve a straighter smile, the daily chores associated with clear aligners can become a barrier that leads some to abandon the process.
