Featured Answer: What are the keys to success with Spark aligners?
Wear your aligners about 22 hours per day, remove them only for meals and brushing, clean trays gently (no hot water), and keep a small travel kit. Consistency is everything—the more you wear them, the smoother and faster treatment goes.
The 22‑Hour Rule
- Track wear time; set reminders during workdays on the I‑495 corridor.
- Avoid extended “out times” at social events by planning water and quick rinses.
Eating and Drinking
- Remove trays for meals; store them in a case—not a napkin.
- Drink only water with aligners in; colored or hot drinks can stain/warp trays.
Cleaning and Maintenance
- Rinse trays when removing; brush gently with a soft brush.
- Use non‑abrasive cleansers; avoid toothpaste that can scratch.
- Clean your case regularly; replace if worn.
Speaking Clearly and Confidently
- Minor lisping often improves in days. Reading aloud helps speed adaptation.
