Clear Aligner Tutorial
However, there also may be a bit of rocking from the aligners if you press down on one side, or have space between the aligner and your teeth. This may indicate that the aligners don’t fit properly. While this is a common occurrence, try the following:
* Try inserting your aligners differently, starting on one side of the back of your mouth and moving to the front of your teeth and then to the back of the other side of your mouth.
* Try doing the above with both the left and right sides of your mouth.
* Use aligner chewie EVERY DAY throughout your ENTIRE treatment to help the fitting of the aligners. (Chew for 5-10 minutes the first 1-2 days. Then for about 15-30 seconds every time the aligners are placed aligners back into your mouth.)

Gently brush aligners daily with mild soap or clean water.
Mild Soap:
Squeeze a bit of gentle liquid soap into a cup of warm (but not hot!) water and mix to form suds. Soak your aligners in the soapy water for 20-30 minutes, then rinse your aligners clean.
Clean Water:
Soak your aligners in the liquid for 20 minutes, then rinse in cool water.
Soak weekly or more often in a denture cleaner (e.g.: POLIDENT).
A note of caution: Do not use toothpaste as it roughens the aligner. Do not use mouthwash since it can discolor aligners.
* Keep away from Mouthwash, Toothpaste, Dishwasher!
