Clear aligners

Patients should wear their aligners 20-22 hours per day. Dandy clear aligners should be taken out only for brushing, cleaning, eating, and drinking anything except for cool water.

We recommend you start with a 14-day wear cycle. For healthy, young, compliant patients, you can reduce wear cycles to 10 or even 7 days. In other situations, wear cycles may be increased.
