Instructions For Bite Guards
- Please be sure to wear your appliance as instructed by our office. Doing so will ensure that you receive the best possible results from treatment.
- Please place your appliance in the provided case any time it is not being worn. Placing your appliance in or on a napkin increases the likelihood of your appliance being accidentally thrown away!
- Please clean your appliance both morning and night to remove dental plaque. You can clean the appliance with a toothbrush and toothpaste.Do not use very hot water on your aligners.
- Do not chew gum with your appliance in and we recommend not smoking while wearing aligners. The smoke can stain the aligners as well as your teeth.
- If you have pets, please do not place your appliance anywhere that your pet can reach them. Pets have been known to LOVE to chew on oral appliances!
- Please be sure to bring your bite guard appliance to every appointment so that we can check it for fit and for wear and tear.
- Call our office to let us know which tray was lost so that we can determine if a replacement tray is needed. There may be a fee if a replacement appliance is needed.
