Wear your aligners 20-22 hours per day for at least 7 days
If you have a day where you wear your aligners less, wear them for an extra day before progressing to your next aligner
If you have a day or more with less than 12 hours of wear it is best to stay in the aligners for an extra couple of days, even a week
Use chewies when putting aligners in, especially to improve fit in specific areas
Take your aligners out to eat
You can keep your aligners in to drink water, tea, coffee
It is best to take your aligners out when drinking anything sugary, if unable, make sure to drink water during and after
Colored liquids will stain your aligners over time
Brush your teeth after each meal, before putting aligners back in. Don’t forget to floss daily
Brush your aligners with toothpaste and room temperature water whenever you brush your teeth
You can use cleaning tablets as well but do not soak in hot water
Do not throw out past aligners, keep them in their respective bag when you progress to the next aligner - keep used and unused bags separate to avoid confusion
Always stay in your last aligner of the set until your next appointment
