1. Brushing with Toothpaste and Water
Before inserting or after removing your aligners, gently brush with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste.
Use lukewarm water to rinse off any toothpaste residue and ensure a thorough clean.
Brush your teeth and gums before reinserting the aligners to prevent trapping any debris.
2. Using Retainer Cleaner Tablets
Consider using retainer cleaner tablets at least once a day, or as recommended by your dental team.
Fill a cup or container with lukewarm water and drop in the retainer cleaner tablet. Submerge your aligners in the solution for the recommended duration specified on the cleaner packaging.
Rinse the aligners thoroughly with water before inserting into your mouth.
3. Keep Your Aligners Active
To get the fastest smile results you want, be prepared to wear youraligner for 20-22 hours a day. Yes, it means wearing them while sleeping, but you'll hardly notice. And when you eat/drink (or kiss), it's quick and easy to remove the aligners.
4. Stay Hydrated and Remove Before Eating
Always remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water.
Staying hydrated and consuming water regularly can help keep your aligners clean and your mouth fresh.
5. Store Aligners Properly
When not wearing your aligners, store them in the provided case to keep them clean and safe.
Avoid exposing the aligners to open air for extended periods to prevent the accumulation of bacteria.
6. Regular Checkups
Schedule regular checkups with your AURRA provider to ensure the progress of your treatment and assess the condition of your aligners.
