The Clear Aligner Lifestyle Guide
Everything you need to know to wear, care, and smile confidently.
A Smile Journey That Fits into Your Life
BioSmart™ Clear Aligners are designed to deliver great results while fitting seamlessly into your day-to-day routine. Whether you're a student, a working professional, or someone balancing home life, your aligners work quietly and effectively in the background - without disrupting your lifestyle.
This guide helps you make the most of your aligner experience through proper use, care, and smart habits.
Wearing Your Aligners
Wear Time Matters
Keep your aligners in for 20-22 hours a day. Remove them only when eating, drinking anything other than water, or brushing your teeth.
Track Your Schedule
Follow your orthodontist's instructions. Most patients switch aligners every 1-2 weeks.
If you are using BioSmart™ Shape Memory Aligners (BioSmart™ - SM), follow this two-phase protocol
Days 1-4: Soft memory phase
Days 5-7: Active memory phase
Eating & Drinking Tips
Take Them Out to Eat or Drink
Eating or drinking anything other than plain water while wearing aligners can stain or damage them.
Enjoy Your Usual Diet
Unlike braces, you don't need to give up any of your favorite foods - just remove the aligners first.
Brush Before Re-inserting
Clean your teeth and rinse your aligners before putting them back in to maintain hygiene and avoid trapped food particles.
Cleaning & Care Instructions
Rinse Frequently
Rinse aligners with cool water when you remove them, especially after meals.
Use Gentle Cleaning Methods
Clean aligners using a soft toothbrush and mild, non-abrasive soap or a recommended aligner cleaning solution. Avoid toothpaste.
Avoid Heat
Do not expose aligners to hot water or sunlight, as it can deform the material.

Comfort & Adjustment
Mild Pressure Is Normal
You might feel gentle pressure or tightness when starting a new set. This means your aligners are working.
Shape Memory Technology Advantage
With BioSmart™ - SM, the pressure begins light and gradually intensifies to ensure efficient, controlled movement over the wear cycle.
Need Help?
If you experience sharp edges, breakage, or discomfort that doesn't fade, contact your orthodontist or the BioSmart™ support team.
Speaking & Confidence
Temporary Lisp May Occur
A short adjustment period is normal as your mouth adapts. This typically fades within a few days.
Confidence in Every Setting
BioSmart™ Aligners are nearly invisible, so you can smile freely in school, social gatherings, interviews, or video calls.
Helpful Daily Habits
Keep Your Case Handy
Always store your aligners in their case when not wearing them. Avoid wrapping them in tissue or napkins where they can be lost.
Use Timers or Reminders
Set phone reminders to help you stay on track—especially in the early days of treatment.
Stay Hydrated
Drinking water throughout the day supports oral hygiene and keeps your mouth feeling fresh with aligners on.
