Night guards and clear aligners: aftercare

Questions or concerns after your visit? Call (516) 430-7730.

  • Rinse your night guard or aligners with water every time you take them out.
  • After rinsing, brush them lightly with dish soap and a soft toothbrush.
  • Let them dry completely before storing them in their case. Always keep them in the case when you're not wearing them.
  • Store the case in a low-humidity room to keep the night guard or aligners from warping.
  • Every couple of days, clean the case with soap and warm water to prevent bacterial buildup.
  • If your night guard or aligners have warped or no longer fit, book an appointment with us.
