How Do I Care for My SureSmile^® Aligners?

Taking good care of your SureSmile^® aligners helps keep them clean, comfortable, and functioning properly throughout your orthodontic treatment. A few simple daily habits can help protect both your aligners and your oral health.

Because your aligners fit closely against your teeth, it's important to maintain good oral hygiene and keep your aligners clean before wearing them again.

Tips for Caring for Your Aligners

• Clean your aligners regularly using the care instructions provided by our office.
• Brush and floss your teeth before placing your aligners back in your mouth.
• Remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water.
• Store your aligners in their protective case whenever they are not being worn.
• Avoid exposing your aligners to excessive heat, which may damage or distort the material.
