Can you take the aligner trays out?

Yes, you can remove the aligner trays. They snap onto your teeth and stay firmly in place. If you need to remove them, gently disconnect them. Additionally, you can take them out to eat and clean your teeth once you’re done; just make sure to reinsert them afterward.

Are the aligner trays easy to clean?

Clear aligner trays are easy to clean and maintain. When you take them out to eat or brush your teeth, take a few minutes to clean the trays as well. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove any debris. This will eliminate bacteria and help keep your breath smelling fresh and clean. Keeping bacteria to a minimum also reduces your risk of tooth decay.

Are the aligner trays visible?

Clear aligner trays are practically invisible. The trays are not attached to your teeth. They snap on and off quickly and easily. Only a small section of the aligner tray is visible once worn. The aligners will have minimal impact on how you speak. No matter what you are doing, you can wear your aligners comfortably and without shaking your self-confidence.
