Many of the advantages of Invisalign in Reno come from the fact that the aligner trays are removable. This key feature makes it possible to take out your trays for special occasions like weddings, eat hard or crunchy foods, and brush and floss with ease. Unfortunately, it also comes with the risk of losing your trays altogether! And since you need to wear them every day for at least 22 hours to get your results on time, it\u2019s important to know what to do if you lose them. Below, you\u2019ll learn how to handle the situation and get general tips for maintaining your trays to get the most out of your Invisalign treatment.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Should You Do If You Lose Your Invisalign Trays? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, don\u2019t panic. You\u2019re certainly not the first person to lose their Invisalign trays and you won\u2019t be the last! Your first step is to call your\u00a0Invisalign-certified dentist in Reno<\/a> right away and let them know what\u2019s happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, since it will take weeks for the Invisalign lab to make a new set of trays and send them to your dentist, you should immediately start wearing your most recent trays to keep your teeth in their current position. These trays will act as retainer until a duplicate set of your next trays can be made. Of course, this also means that you should never throw away your previous aligner trays until you\u2019re done with treatment, just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, although this will slow down your results a bit, you won\u2019t actually lose any ground unless you fail to keep your teeth in place with your last set of aligners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
