  • Floss every day. Flossing helps to get rid of all the debris that may get caught in your fingers and teeth.
  • Stick to the 48-hour instruction. Wear your aligners as much as possible, especially in the first 48 hours of use.
  • Commit to wearing them at least 22 hours every day. To get the most out of your aligners, our dentists encourage only taking them out for eating and cleaning.
  • Change your aligners on time and in the right order. Keep up with your treatment by changing them out on time.
  • Know that it feels a little weird, but you will get used to it. The more you wear your aligners, the more comfortable they will feel.
  • The speech “learning curve” is steep. Practice talking with your aligners.
  • Most people will not notice your aligners. Clear trays allow you to “invisibly” straighten your smile.
  • Don’t be afraid of the clear aligner attachments. Use the attachments provided to you to keep your treatment plan on schedule.
  • Know how to care for your aligners. Talk to your dentist for proper cleaning suggestions.
  • Stick to the dietary instructions. Certain foods may slow down your treatment plan.
  • Keep your mouth extra clean to avoid the buildup of bacteria.
  • Use a whitening toothpaste for a more effective foundation for your smile.
  • Use your retainer properly to sustain your beautiful new smile.
