Aligner Care

One of the best things about Spark aligners is the minimal impact it has on your life. Aligners are easy to care for. Here are some tips on how to make the most out of your experience.

Maintain Oral Hygiene

It is important to maintain oral hygiene throughout treatment. Spark aligners are removable so you can continue to brush and floss like your normally would. It is also recommended that you use a fluoride mouth rinse to help keep your teeth strong and healthy.

Eating

Please remove your aligners every time you eat and drink. You may leave your aligners in when you are drinking plain, cold water. If you have a sugary beverage or snack, please brush your teeth or rinse your mouth with water prior to replacing your aligners.

Sports

For most sports, you can wear your aligners. If your sport requires a mouthguard, simply remove your aligners and wear your mouthguard. Once your practice or game is finished, put your aligners back into your mouth.

Cleaning

Clean your aligners at least once per day. To clean your aligners, you may use toothpaste and a toothbrush or just use lukewarm water. Never use hot water to clean your aligners or the aligners may become distorted.
