If you lose or damage an orthodontic aligner, contact our dental office as soon as possible for instructions and guidance.
If it is close to the time when you're supposed to move on to the next set in the series, your dentist may instruct you to do so early. Sometimes, we may have to replace the lost or damaged aligner.
Tips to Avoid Losing or Damaging Your Clear Orthodontic Aligner
- Always store your aligner in the proper case.
- Never rinse your aligner in water that is too hot or too cold because it can ruin the plastic.
- Keep your aligners stored at room temperature to avoid warping.
- Never leave your aligners on the sink basin or a food tray—they can be damaged or accidentally thrown away.
