About this deal
If you find me to be missing some information or if some is incorrect don’t be afraid to message me and let me know. And since they take time to get a close look at the whole mouth, they can also provide advice about any areas that need to be cleaned more thoroughly as part of your daily routine, plus give tips on the tools you should use, or use differently.

I generally clean after every meal, taking about 10 minutes per session, and again before bed if necessary.
Based on the recommendation of my orthodontist at Signature Orthodontics I purchased a pack of interdental mini brushes to clean between the teeth and the wires/brackets.
In your box you should find some lip balm, which you can use at your own leisure, your teeth whitening gel, BrightOn your outie tool, your chewies, and your aligner carrier. We would be more than happy to give our opinions on whether you’re a good fit or not (although our qualifications are nothing too special for the most part). Also make sure you aren’t just uncomfortable with the aligners in the first place, if it is a new set, give them a night. If the gum remains dry or hard even after rolling it, chew on it for a few minutes until it becomes soft and mushy.
I haven't had a lot of pain with lingual braces, but there is sometimes an issue with them catching on my tongue and causing little cuts and sores, especially in the first few weeks. There will most likely only be a noticeable amount near the last day of the aligners you wear for one week, and a very noticeable amount on the ones you wear for two weeks. My favorite feature is that these flossers are made of plant-based, eco-friendly materials instead of plastic, so they’re better for the environment than traditional dental floss.However, due to lingual braces being attached to the inside surface of the teeth, the process can be a little more tricky, as you can't always see what's going on. After seeing my jagged bottom row during Zoom meetings and in impromptu videos my kids took of me, I decided to look into getting clear aligners. But don’t drink anything which could damage teeth or aligners with prolonged exposure, as your aligners will capture and hold some of whatever you drink, holding it in your mouth on your teeth and as a pool in the aligners. Keep in mind that if you don’t mind not getting the most out of your money, you can feel free to use SDC regardless of how minor the straightening issue.
