What should I do if my Dr. Direct aligners don't fit right?

If they are tight, this is completely normal. If the edges rub against your mouth, you can use an emery board to gently smooth down the rough edges. If they still don't feel right, contact the Dental Care team at 1-855-604-7052.

How long should I wear each set of Dr. Direct aligners?

You should wear each set of aligners for exactly 2 weeks, for roughly 22 hours per day. Only take them out when you are eating or drinking anything other than cool water.

How do I safely remove my aligners?

Use the included aligner removal tool. Pulling from your back teeth, use one hook to pull your lower aligners up and off. For upper aligners, pull down to remove. Never pull outward from the front area of your teeth to avoid damaging the aligner.

Can I drink hot liquids while wearing my aligners?

No. You should keep aligners away from hot, sweet, or colored liquids. Do not use hot water to clean them, as high temperatures will warp the plastic. Drink only cool water while wearing them.

How do I check in my touch-up aligners?

If your doctor prescribes touch-up aligners, you can confirm their fit and officially check them in by visiting portal.drdirectretainers.com.
