How do I care for my clear aligners?

Proper care of your clear aligners keeps them clean, clear and effective throughout your treatment. Follow these simple steps for the best results:

1. Clean Daily

Rinse your clear aligners with cool water each time you remove them. Gently brush using cold water and a soft toothbrush.

2. Remove When Eating & Drinking

Always take your aligners out before eating or drinking anything other than water to prevent stains, odours and damage.

3. Brush & Floss Before Reinserting

To avoid trapping food and bacteria, brush and floss your teeth before putting your aligners back in.

4. Store Properly

Keep your aligners in their protective case when not in use to prevent contamination and loss.

5. Avoid Hot Water & Harsh Cleaners

Never clean aligners with hot water, bleach or abrasive chemicals, as they can warp or damage them.

6. Wear as Directed

For the best results, wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day and switch them as scheduled.
