In addition, you can remove clear aligners to eat and drink. This means there are no dietary restrictions. Since clear aligners is removable, it’s also easier to brush and floss, and keep your smile healthy throughout treatment. Clear aligners is also more comfortable and gentle than braces.

First, make sure that you don’t eat or drink (except water) while wearing your aligners. Eating with your aligners will damage them and delay your treatment. Drinking any beverage except water can stain them. 

Keep your clear aligner case close at hand, and make sure you put your aligners in the case for safekeeping whenever you take them out. It’s also important to wear your aligners for the recommended 20-22+ hours per day to get the most out of your treatment.

If possible, rinse your aligners briefly whenever you take them out to prevent plaque and bacteria buildup. At night, brush your clear aligners gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a non-scented antibacterial soap that rinses away cleanly. This will eliminate bacteria buildup, which will help prevent cavities and gum disease, and ensure that your aligners don’t stain or begin to smell bad.
