Post-Treatment Care Guide for Clear Aligner Users

✅ Introduction:

Clear aligners are a comfortable, removable, and nearly invisible option for teeth straightening. However, proper aftercare is essential to ensure effective results throughout your treatment.

Here’s a complete aligner care guide from Shree Jayam Oral & Dental Clinic, Ambattur.

✅ Aligner Care Instructions:

1. Wearing Aligners Correctly:

Wear aligners for at least 20–22 hours daily.

Only remove them while eating or brushing.

Never skip wearing them, even at night.

2. Cleaning Aligners:

Clean aligners daily with a soft brush and mild soap.

Rinse with lukewarm water (avoid hot water as it can warp the plastic).

Avoid using toothpaste, as it may scratch the aligners.

3. Diet Tips:

Remove aligners before eating or drinking anything other than plain water.

Avoid sugary or acidic drinks with aligners in place.

Brush your teeth after every meal before wearing aligners again.

4. Comfort Tips:

Mild pressure or tightness is normal when switching to a new set.

Cold compresses can help ease discomfort.

Use dental wax if edges cause irritation.

5. Check-Ups & Aligner Changes:

Follow your scheduled aligner switch dates strictly.

Attend regular check-ups for progress monitoring.
