Your stomach drops. You’ve lost your aligner, or worse, cracked it, and now all you can think is, “Did I just ruin everything?” At White Bear Smiles, we know how upsetting and stressful this moment can feel, especially when you’ve been working so hard on your smile.
But here’s the truth: one lost or damaged aligner isn’t the end of your progress; it’s just a detour, and we’re here to help you through it.
What to Do if You Lose or Damage an Aligner
If you lose or break a SureSmile® aligner, here’s what you should do:
- First, contact our dental office to determine the best course of action. We will make recommendations based on your situation.
- In the meantime, either move to the next aligner in the series or wear your previous aligner so you don’t interrupt your treatment.
- Your missing or broken aligner can be replaced, so don’t worry!
