How to Wear and Remove Clear Aligners

How to wear and remove Clear Aligners

    Instructions for Wearing:

  • Step 1: Rinse the aligners with cool water before placing them in your mouth.
  • Step 2: Line up the aligner with your teeth, starting with the front teeth, and gently press them into place.
  • Step 3: Apply pressure with your fingers at the back molars to ensure the aligners are fully seated.
  • Step 4: Use chewies to ensure the aligners fit snugly against your teeth.

    Instructions for Removing:

  • Step 1: Start at the back molars using your fingers or the aligner outie tool.
  • Step 2: Gently lift the aligner off from the molars and gradually pull it forward, away from your front teeth.
  • Step 3: Rinse the aligner with cool water before storing it in its case.

    Important Tip:

  • Avoid using hot water to clean the aligners, as this can warp the plastic. Always store the aligners in a protective case when not in use.
  • When you receive your package: You will find multiple sets of aligners, each individually packed and clearly labeled. Follow the sequence and wear each set in the correct order as instructed in the manual included in the package.

How to Use Chewies

    Instructions:

  • Step 1: Ensure your aligners are properly fitted over your teeth before using chewies. Place the chewie between your teeth, either vertically or horizontally, depending on your preference. Bite down, but don't swallow it!
  • Step 2: Bite down on the chewie for approximately a minute, starting at the back of your mouth and gradually moving forward. This helps eliminate any air gaps between your teeth and the aligners, ensuring a secure fit.
  • Step 3: Hold each bite for at least 5 seconds before moving to the next position. Repeat the process for a total of 5-10 minutes to ensure your aligners are well-seated.
  • Step 4: If certain areas feel loose, focus on those areas with additional bites. Use chewies twice a day (morning and night) and especially when switching to a new aligner tray for the best fit.

    Customer Note:

  • Use chewies daily to ensure the best possible fit, especially after switching to a new set of aligners.

    Important Tip:

  • Replace chewies periodically to prevent bacteria buildup. Clean them with warm water and mild soap after each use.

How to Use a Cheek Retractor

    Instructions:

  • Step 1: Hold the cheek retractor with both hands by the handles.
  • Step 2: Insert one side of the retractor into your mouth, then gently pull it apart so the other side can fit as well.
  • Step 3: Adjust the retractor until it pulls back your cheeks comfortably, creating a wide and clear view of your teeth.
  • Step 4: Take the desired pictures or complete any necessary oral care tasks while keeping it in place.

    Customer Note:

  • Make sure to sterilize the cheek retractor before each use by rinsing it in warm water or soaking it in a dental-safe cleaning solution.

    Important Tip:

  • Some customers may experience slight discomfort or dryness when using a cheek retractor for extended periods. Keep some water or lip balm handy to alleviate dryness.

    Pro Tip:

  • Ensure your lips are not caught in the retractor when inserting to avoid pinching or discomfort.

How to Use the Aligner Outie Tool

Fresh aligners can be tough to remove, especially with soft or short nails or weak finger strength—don’t get frustrated! Using the right technique or an outie tool makes removing them easy and more hygienic.

    Instructions:

  • Step 1: Hold the outie tool by the handle, positioning the hook under the edge of the aligner at the back molar.
  • Step 2: Gently pull downward to unseat the aligner from your teeth, starting from the molars and moving forward.
  • Step 3: Repeat this motion on the opposite side, gradually working your way around until the aligner is completely removed.
  • Step 4: Once removed, clean the tool with water after each use to maintain hygiene.

    Customer Note:

  • Be cautious when using the tool to avoid damaging your gums or the aligner. Ensure the tool is sterilized regularly to prevent any potential oral injuries.

    Important Tip:

  • Avoid using the tool too aggressively as it could scratch the aligner or irritate your gums. Always be gentle.

    Pro Tip:

  • If you're traveling or away from home, carry the tool in a case to keep it clean and accessible.
