Wearing Clear Aligners

Congratulations!
Once you receive your MIA Clear Aligners, you're ready to begin your smile transformation.
Success with clear aligners depends on wearing them consistently and looking after them properly. The good news is that most patients adapt within just a few days and quickly forget they're even wearing them.

✓ Wear Your Aligners For 20–22 Hours Every Day
Your aligners should be worn for approximately 20–22 hours per day. They should only be removed when eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing your teeth or cleaning the aligners.

The more consistently you wear your aligners, the more predictable your treatment will be. Wearing them for fewer hours each day can delay your progress and may even require additional aligners to achieve the desired result.

✓ Always Remove Them Before Eating
One of the biggest advantages of clear aligners is that they are removable. Before eating or drinking anything other than water, simply remove your aligners and place them safely in their protective case.

This means you can continue enjoying all your favourite foods without the restrictions often associated with traditional braces.

Always store your aligners safely in their protective case when eating.

✓ Keep Your Aligners Clean
Clean your aligners every morning and evening using lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush. Avoid using hot water, as this may distort the aligners and affect their fit.

Keeping your aligners clean helps prevent staining, keeps them virtually invisible and contributes to fresh breath and healthy teeth.

Simple daily cleaning keeps your aligners fresh, clear and comfortable to wear.
