Proper Oral Hygiene Remove your Aligners for eating and drinking. (You do not need to remove your Aligners to drink water.) Brush and floss your teeth after each meal or snack prior to re-inserting your Aligners. If this is not possible, you can simply rinse your mouth, and then clean your Aligners by holding them under warm running water. Be sure to clean Aligners at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions regarding hygiene techniques, please consult your doctor. Make sure you are meeting with your doctor per their treatment check-up plan.

Aligner Removal Use your fingertip on the inside of your back molar to slowly pull the Aligner from your molars. Make sure to only do one side at a time. Repeat this process on the other side of your mouth before trying to completely remove the Aligner. Once Aligner is removed from the molars, you should be able to slowly work your way forward gently prying the Aligner away from your teeth with your fingertips.

Aligner Insertion Make sure you have the proper Aligner-the upper for your top teeth and the lower for your bottom teeth. To help avoid confusion, each Aligner package contains a “U” for upper and “L” for lower, followed by the stage number. (Example U 2 of 10) When inserting each Aligner, gently push the Aligners over your front teeth. Then apply equal pressure, using your fingertips, to the tops of your left and right molars until Aligner snaps into place. Do not bite your Aligners into position. This may damage them. Note: If you experience sharp pain or significant discomfort, discontinue use of the Aligners and contact your doctor.
