Daily Care for Clear Aligners | The Smile Factory

Your aligners spend most of the day inside your mouth, so what you do with them matters as much as wearing them for the recommended hours.

Keep it simple

• Rinse them with lukewarm water whenever you take them out
• Brush and floss before putting them back in
• Clean them daily with a soft brush - avoid hot water, which warps the plastic
• Store them in their case, never in a tissue

Remove them for anything except water, and keep the wear schedule your dentist gave you. Missed hours do not just slow progress - they can make the next tray fit worse.
