Brush twice a day as normal and floss once a day. Rinse the aligners every time you remove them and clean them with cool water and a soft toothbrush — never hot water, which can warp the plastic.

Smart Align and Ultimate Align include retainers at the end of treatment to protect your result. We typically recommend a fixed bonded wire behind the front teeth and/or a removable night-time tray. Without retention, teeth gradually move back over time.
