If you\u2019re interested in getting a straighter smile, clear aligners<\/a> can allow you to do that while avoiding some of the most common drawbacks of traditional braces. They\u2019re comfortable, subtle, sleek, and can often produce results months faster than traditional braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that sounds interesting, it would be a good idea to be prepared for what clear aligners entail. Here are some things you should know before getting them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

You Should Wear Your Aligners for 20-22 Hours a Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Clear aligners are removable, which means that you can take them off before meals and clean them. This eliminates the dietary restrictions that often come with orthodontic treatment and makes things like flossing much simpler than they are with traditional braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it\u2019s important to remember that your clear aligners only work while you\u2019re wearing them. It\u2019s recommended that if you want to see results, you should wear your aligners for as close to 22 hours a day as possible, 20 hours at a minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Should Keep Your Aligners Clean<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you manage to get food particles and bacteria trapped in your aligners, they\u2019ll be trapped against your teeth all day and will wreak havoc on your oral health. For that reason, it\u2019s vitally important to keep both your teeth and your aligners clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After eating, it\u2019s strongly recommended that you thoroughly brush and floss your teeth. You should also gently brush your aligners to keep them free of any plaque buildup. Your dentist will likely send you home with cleaning crystals that you can soak your trays in, so try and use these at least once a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep Your Aligners Safe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fact that these aligners are clear can occasionally cause problems\u2014if you aren\u2019t careful, it\u2019s common to lose them when you take them out for meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best thing to do is to get a carrying case that you put your aligners in when you aren\u2019t wearing them. At the very least, you should refrain from wrapping your trays in a napkin or leaving them on a table, as that makes it a little too easy to accidentally throw them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
