Simple daily care
Wear them 22 hours
Only take them out to eat, drink anything but water, and clean your teeth.
Brush before you put them back
Brush and floss after meals, so food isn't trapped against your teeth.
Rinse and clean the trays
Rinse with cool water and clean gently. Hot water can warp them.
Always use your case
Keep them in their case when they're out. Napkins are how aligners get lost.
How long does aligner treatment take?
It depends on your teeth. Many treatments take around [X-Y] months. You will know your timeline before you start.
Do aligners hurt?
You may feel some pressure for a day or two with each new stage. This is normal and means they are working.
Will people notice my aligners?
They are thin and clear, so most people won't notice them in everyday life.
Will aligners affect how I speak?
Some people notice a slight lisp for the first few days. It usually settles quickly as you get used to them.
Do I need to wear retainers afterwards?
Yes. Retainers keep your teeth in their new position, and they are included with your aligner plan.
Not just aligners. Your confidence.
