What to understand

Removable aligners can be taken out for meals and cleaning, but they also require remembering to put them back according to the prescribed schedule. Store them in their case when out of the mouth and clean them as advised.

What to clarify at an examination

Ask how many hours per day to wear them in your case, how to move to the next tray, what to do if one is lost, and what counts as a poor fit. Do not change the plan without professional advice.

Questions to ask

Can I drink coffee with aligners? They are commonly removed for drinks other than water, but follow the specific instructions you were given.
