If you lose or damage your aligners don’t panic. Many patients face this situation and there are steps you can take to keep your treatment on track. Contact your dental care team without delay. They’ll tailor instructions based on your progress based on your specific treatment plan. Often they may advise you to continue wearing your previous set of aligners until a replacement is ready. It maintains your current progress.

If you have your previous set, put it back in. Even if it feels tight, it’s better than going without any aligner at all. Don’t move ahead to the next tray if the current one is damaged or lost, as this can cause misalignment and delay your progress. Many clinics provide rush replacements at a nominal cost and others store extra aligners for emergencies that they can send out quickly.

In the meantime, be extra careful with your remaining aligners. Never leave them uncontained when not in use, and don’t wrap them in tissue paper or left in hot environments. Record which aligners you’ve completed and your scheduled change date so you can notify your orthodontist of inconsistencies.

If you’re unable to wear any aligner for more than a day or two, let your provider know right away. They may need to adjust your treatment plan or book a checkup to evaluate alignment. Consistency drives the best outcomes so don’t wait too long to act.

Most orthodontists understand الاینر that accidents happen and stand ready to reset your treatment. Acting swiftly and keeping your provider informed will prevent setbacks and maintain your alignment trajectory.
