Step 3: Wear your aligners. A new set of aligners
is given every two to three weeks, moving your teeth little
by little. Dr. Molayem will check your progress after
each set of aligners is given to you (or several sets
of aligners can be given to you at once if it is difficult
to come to the office as often). The aligners are removed
to eat, brush and floss. |

Also, if the patient does not maintain meticulous oral
hygiene then there is a high risk of cavity formation.
This is because if the patient eats and then does not
brush, the plaque is pressed against the teeth and the
tongue and saliva are not given a chance to naturally
clean the teeth. |
