Thankyou for choosing Aligners Globe in journey of your beautiful smile makeover. There are some instructions which you have to follow in order to get what you want.
HOW AND WHEN TO WEAR
1. Aligners ONLY work when you are wearing them. We recommend you wear your aligners FULL TIME, day and night, at least 22 hours. The only time the aligners should be out of your mouth is when you are eating and drinking, brushing and flossing or cleaning them.
2. Wear each aligner for a MINIMUM of two weeks, or as directed by the doctor. In start Aligner fit tightly and you may feel some pressure which is normal and is required to move teeth. It is very important that you never go to the next aligner in less than the directed time. Even though it may seem that the current aligner is loose and no longer moving your teeth, it may take longer for the roots to catch up with the crown of the tooth.
3. Most of the tightness will go away at the end of two weeks but if the aligners are still too tight then inform your dentist immediately.
4. If you miss some days for any reason, pick up where you left off and wear the aligners for a full 14-day MINIMUM. Call the office to let us know.
INSERTION AND REMOVAL
1.Make sure you have the proper aligner.
U for upper and L for lower in the proper number sequence. They are labeled very small on each aligner.
2. When inserting, gently push the aligners over your front teeth. Then, apply balance pressure to the tops of the left and right molars until they snap into place. DO NOT bite your aligners into place. Instead use chewies a special rubber rolls to fit in the aligners provided in the Aligners Globe box, you can shop from our Aligners accessories page if you have lost them.
3. Make sure each aligner is ALL THE WAY DOWN and fully seated. You should not see any space between the edge of the tooth and aligner. If the aligner is not fully seated, the teeth will not move properly and the next aligner will not fit. This can waste many weeks of treatment and even cause starting over with possible extra fees.
4. For removing the aligners, apply balanced pressure in the premolar area on both sides of appliance using index fingers or Aligner removing tool, provided in the Aligners Globe box, then gently lift off the front teeth. Always rinse the aligners in cold water and store in the proper container. DO NOT use sharp objects to remove your aligners.
Note: Aggressive pulling up or pushing down the Aligners or improper use of tool can result in breakage of Aligners, if you are having a difficulty in one area, move the tool to a new position and try again.
5.For very tight aligners rinse your mouth with warm water prior to removal.
6. After insertion of Aligners you may notice slight lisp and dryness of mouth, which will go away in few days as your tongue will adjust having Aligner in your mouth.
STORING ALIGNERS
1. Always place the aligners in the cases provided. Never place aligners in napkins or side/food table or any other case. Never place in a pocket that can be sat on.
2. NEVER discard any old aligners. Always bring all of your aligners to your orthodontic visit.
3. If you lose an aligner, call your doctor right away and wear the previous aligner if available.

CARE OF ALIGNERS

Travelling Instructions
If you are planning to travel, you will need to bring extra pairs of aligners, braces wax and aligners case with you. Even if you are normally good at keeping track of your items, you never know what can happen on a trip. At a minimum, you should bring your previous set, current set and upcoming set of aligners with you on your trip.
If you are flying, you should keep your aligner trays and cases on your person or in a bag. Baggage can easily be lost, and you don’t want to go for days without wearing your aligners. When you are on the road or in the air, it can be difficult to brush your teeth every time after you eat. At the very least, make sure you rinse both your mouth and your aligners before placing them back in after eating.
Aligners dry mouth is a common, but an irritating side effect of wearing clear aligners. As a result, many patients crave something that will keep their mouth fresh and healthy. Some patients try sucking on sugar-free mints to address this issue, but unfortunately, many of these mints are actually stuffed with unhealthy artificial sweeteners. Nowadays, an increasing number of aligners users are turning to Movemints to keep their breaths fresh and minty. Not only are Movemints sugar-free, but they are made with xylitol, a chemical known for preventing dry mouth and other oral-related problems. Thanks to the patented grooves in the mints that fit between your upper and lower trays, you can comfortably chew on these mints for extended periods of time.
