①

Wear your aligners 22 hours per day.

Your teeth will move best with continuous wear. The more you wear them, the better your finished result will be. 

②

Take them out to eat and drink.

You can drink water, but you must remove your aligners for all other foods and liquids.

③

Change your aligners every 2 weeks.

Your teeth may be sore for 1-2 days with each new aligner. Even when the soreness is gone, it is important to continue wearing your aligners full-time for 2 weeks to achieve optimal results. 

④

Rinse and brush regularly.

Brush your aligners 2 times per day. Brush all surfaces of your aligners (without toothpaste). When possible, brush your teeth after every meal. Use mouthwash or retainer cleaner as needed to freshen your aligners.

⑤

Keep them safe.

1. Always place in a case when not in use.

2. Keep away from pets (fish are ok).

3. Avoid extreme heat (e.g. hot cars, no boiling).
