During your clear aligner treatment, wearing your aligners at set times and regularly cleaning them will help you stay on track. To keep your aligners in top shape, remove them before eating or drinking anything other than water, and gently clean them daily with a soft brush and mild soap. Always store aligners in their case when not in use to prevent loss or damage. Avoid hot liquids and harsh cleaners, as they can cause the material to warp or discolor. With proper care, your aligners will provide ideal straightening throughout your treatment.
