Tracking is\nsimply how well the aligners fit your teeth, and if they are tracking\ncorrectly, your teeth should move on schedule without issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But many people, especially those new to using\ninvisible aligners, have concerns about placing their aligners correctly over\ntheir teeth, and this is where chewies come into play and can be a useful tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What are chewies?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Have you ever seen somebody wearing a dental\nretainer chewing on a pencil to get the retainer to fit better? In essence,\nchewies are the professional version of the pencil. They are made from a soft\nfoam material, very similar to the materials used to make earbuds and are\nreusable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They are designed to ensure that your aligners\nfit correctly and that there are no air bubbles between the aligner and your\nteeth, which can otherwise cause issues with tracking and may slow down the\ntreatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Using chewies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Using chewies is a relatively straightforward\nprocedure. You simply place the chewies between your jaws and bite down hard on\nthem when you are putting an aligner in your mouth. Aim to use one chewy per\nday when fitting your aligners. Chewies are the most reliable when you have\nfinished using one aligner and are moving on to the next one to ensure that it\nfits over your teeth correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aim to chew the chewie for several minutes until\nyou feel confident that the aligner is fitted correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When to contact our team<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately, there are some instances in which even using chewies cannot help with tracking, and this can be caused by poorly made aligners or issues with the wearing of aligners for the required time each day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have issues with fitting your aligners correctly and you have tried this method to resolve it but it has not worked, please contact our team for an assessment. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When it comes to using any kind of new dental device, it is important to get as much help as possible if required.
