Keep Your Treatment on Track for the Best Results

As you move to your next set of aligners, it’s important to follow a few simple steps to keep your treatment progressing smoothly. At Ridge Road Family Dentistry, we want every patient to enjoy a comfortable and successful aligner journey.

Wear your aligners 20–22 hours a day — only remove them when eating, drinking (anything besides water), or brushing.
Switch to your next set as directed by your dentist, usually every 1–2 weeks.
Clean your aligners daily with lukewarm water and a soft brush — avoid hot water, which can warp them.
Store them safely in their case when not in use to prevent loss or damage.
Attend your checkups as scheduled so we can monitor progress and make any needed adjustments.
