Wear trays all the time; 24 hours a day, all day, all night, eating, sleeping, except when cleaning your teeth or trays.
Continue to wear trays, even in the rare instance they break.
If you lose your current tray, you must not have been wearing them. So, put on your previous tray and call us for further instructions.
Bring all trays to each appointment. Never throw away any trays.
Any lost attachment will be replaced at your next appointment if needed, unless we have otherwise specified.
Any gum irritation can easily be solved with the ortho wax (supplied in the tray case). You can buy more wax from the pharmacy if needed.
While uncommon, if needed for some soreness Motrin/Advil/ibuprofen can be taken if you can tolerate it with any medication or medical conditions you may have. If unsure, call your physician.
Avoid staining foods with yellow dies: turmeric, mustard, mac & cheese, etc.
