Aligners

  • Keep your aligners in for 20-22 hours.
  • Take them out only when eating or brushing.
  • You can drink water with aligners in.
  • If it’s not in your mouth, it should be in the case.

Seating and Removing Trays:

  • When putting it in → Make sure it is completely seated on your teeth, so there are no gaps.
  • When taking them out → Remove with your fingers from the tongue-side, starting from the back.

Treatment Progress/Schedule:

  • As you progress through the treatment, it’s best to keep your old aligner trays.
  • If you notice one of the attachments come out – usually if it is one or two-it is not a problem, and you can continue wearing the trays.
  • If you have more than 4 attachments fall off, let us know because you may need to come before your regularly scheduled check-up.

Cleaning:

  • To clean, can brush with toothpaste or can use retainer/denture cleaner tablets.
