Will the aligners change how I eat?

You must take the trays out every time you eat anything other than soft foods or drink anything except plain water. This prevents the plastic from staining or breaking. The great part is that you can still enjoy all your favourite crunchy and chewy snacks since the trays are removable.

How often do I need to see the dental team?

Usually, a check-up happens every six to eight weeks. These visits are quick and simple. Our team makes sure your teeth are “tracking” or moving exactly as the computer model predicted. You will often get several sets of trays at once to take home.

Can I drink coffee while wearing my trays?

It is better to avoid hot coffee or tea while the trays are in. Heat can cause the plastic to change shape, and dark liquids can get trapped between the tray and your teeth, which might lead to stains or tooth decay. Always remove them for your morning brew.

What should I do if I lose an aligner?

Don’t panic, but call your dental provider right away. They might tell you to wear your previous set for a few days or move up to the next set early. Never try to go without any tray at all, as your teeth can begin to shift back to their old spots very quickly.
