For the first few weeks of\nwear, this means that you have to time yourself. Should you not stick to this\nrule of wear, then your teeth may stop moving as planned or the process may\nbegin to reverse. So be sure to keep the aligners in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can I drink coffee while wearing it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is generally advised whilst wearing an aligner\nthat you only consume water. If you are going to drink coffee, tea, or another\nbeverage like fruit juice, you need to take the aligner out of your mouth. This\nis because fruit juices like orange juice can cause the aligner to stain and\nhotter drinks can also cause it to become misshapen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How hard is it to clean?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisible aligners are very easy to clean; simply\nrinse them under a cold water tap twice a day, or as required, to remove any\ndebris. If needed, you can use a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove any\nstuck-on food. Though it can be tempting, you must refrain from rinsing your\naligner under hot water, as this can cause it to warp out of shape. It is also\nworth noting that before you place the aligner back into your mouth after\neating food, you will need to brush your teeth to ensure that any food debris\ndoes not become trapped against your teeth by the aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It\u2019s rubbing against my gums; is there a way to ease this?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a surprisingly common issue that many of\nour patients face when they begin wearing invisible aligners. Even though the\naligners are typically more comfortable than braces, the plastic that they are\nmade from is often harder than expected, as it has been printed via a 3D\nprinter. So there are few soft edges, which can irritate the soft tissues of\nthe mouth. There is a way to mitigate this using dental wax. Place this onto\nthe harder areas of the aligner and this will cushion your inner mouth and gums\nagainst the pressure until the aligner softens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I\u2019ve lost an aligner; what should I do?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have lost an aligner the first thing to do\nis put the previous aligner that you were wearing in the series into your\nmouth. Do not move on to the next one as this can create an issue in the\nrealignment process. Secondly, you need to contact our team at <strong>Clear Braces Direct<\/strong> so we can order you\na replacement aligner. If you believe that you can move on to the next aligner\nin the series, please discuss this with our team. Do not attempt this step\nwithout the green light from us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you want to straighten your teeth using invisible aligners but need to know more before committing to them?
