Aligner Instructions

Your aligner treatment success starts with proper care and consistent wear. Follow these essential guidelines to ensure optimal results and achieve the beautiful smile you’re working toward.

Wear Your Aligners 22 Hours Daily

Your teeth will move most effectively with consistent wear. The longer you wear them, the better your final result will be.

Remove Them for Eating and Drinking

You can drink water while wearing them, but you must take your aligners out for all other foods and beverages.

Change Your Aligners Weekly

Your teeth may feel sore for 1-2 days with each new aligner. Even after the soreness subsides, it’s essential to continue wearing each aligner full-time for 1 week to achieve the best results.

Rinse and Brush Regularly

Clean your aligners 2 times per day. Brush all surfaces of your aligners (without toothpaste). When you can, brush your teeth after every meal. Use retainer cleaner or diluted peroxide as needed to keep your aligners fresh.

Keep Them Safe

  • Always store in a case when not being worn.
  • Keep away from pets (fish are fine).
  • Avoid extreme heat (like hot cars, no boiling).
