Aligners<\/strong><br \/>When you receive your package in the mail, there would be multiple sets of aligners in the box alongside an instruction manual. Each step of your aligners is individually packed and labelled clearly for your convenience. You will need to wear your aligners sequentially.<\/p><p><strong>Step 2: Properly Fitting Your Clear Aligners<\/strong><br \/>Once you have located the right pair of aligners, gently set them atop your teeth and push lightly to affix them from the front of your teeth. Using your fingertips, work your way backwards and apply even pressure to push the rest of the aligner into place. You should feel it click into place.<\/p><p>It\u2019s perfectly normal for a new set of aligners to feel tight, and it may require more effort to push them into place. But it will become easier to fit as you wear them over time.<\/p><p><strong>Step 3: Securing the Clear Aligners<\/strong><br \/>Then, use your chewies and bite down on them to further secure the aligners on your teeth. Take note not to bite the aligners atop each other as the pressure may crack the aligners. If you are not sure of how to use chewies, we have prepared\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.drclearaligners.sg\/blog\/way-to-take-care-chewies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a comprehensive guide on how to use them<\/a>.<\/p><p>Bite on your chewies for approximately a minute, starting at the back and moving your way forward. This helps to eliminate any air gaps between your teeth and the aligners, securing them into place to ensure your teeth are moved effectively.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

\/>Making use of your fingertips, apply force on the inside of the molars to retract the aligners. You should feel your aligners lifting off from your teeth. Then, remove both left and right sides before moving on.<\/p><p>To remove your invisible braces more easily, consider using an aligner removal tool. How to use it? Hold the tool so that the hook faces towards your aligners, and carefully insert it at the edge of the aligners. Once the hook is securely in place, gently pull to lift and remove the aligner from your teeth.<\/p><p><strong>Step 2: Working Towards the Front<\/strong><br \/>Take note not to remove the aligners from side to side, as it may cause breakage. Once the back of the aligners has been lifted from your teeth, move your way forward to the front of your teeth to remove the aligners.<\/p><p>If you started on a new set and find difficulty in removing the aligners, be patient and attempt slowly. Do not remove the aligners forcefully, as doing so might end up damaging them.<\/p><p><strong>Step 3: Cleaning Your Clear Aligners<\/strong><br \/>After removal, rinse your aligners under running water before storing them in their designated containers. Failing to clean them can lead to bacterial buildup from having your saliva dry on them. Another good reason to store them in their containers is so you don\u2019t lose or damage them by accident.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-aaf9d04 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"aaf9d04\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d8a7f6f\" data-id=\"d8a7f6f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f827b0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6f827b0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>How Long Should You Wear Clear Aligners?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3909a0c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3909a0c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-dc97ab1\" data-id=\"dc97ab1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c290b4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1c290b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-83147\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drclearaligners.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/store-your-aligners-in-aligners-case.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"680\" \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6611ebc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6611ebc\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a656c10\" data-id=\"a656c10\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c5d364f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c5d364f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>For optimal results, it is best to wear aligners for 20 to 22 hours daily.
