Dos…
SLEEPING IN CLEAR ALIGNERS
The aligners should be worn even during sleep.
PROTECT YOUR ALIGNERS
Protect your aligners from sun and high temperatures, which may cause deformation! Keep them out of reach of children and pets!
HEALTH OF YOUR TEETH
For your teeth and gums to be healthy, schedule regular check-up visits, even during the treatment with the aligners! We also recommend flossing for daily oral hygiene.
…and Don’ts
FOOD AND DRINKS
Before eating, always remove your aligners and put them on again only after washing your teeth. Wash your hands before you touch the aligners. While wearing clear aligners drink only cold water. Hot drinks can deform and damage the overlays. Drinks containing sugar or acid can accumulate under the overlays. This can create perfect conditions for tooth decay or other dental problems.
SMOKING TOBACCO
Remove your aligners before smoking, since the smoke from cigarettes can cause material discoloring and unsightly stains.
CHEWING GUM
While wearing clear aligners, do not chew gum. It can stick to the overlays.
