It’s uncommon, but not impossible, to face an emergency with clear aligners

In such situations, remaining composed and informed is crucial

Many encounters involve either misplacing or cracking an aligner

Don’t let fear take over if you can’t find your aligner

You’ll likely be advised to go back to the last worn aligner and reach out immediately

Check for any visible damage or debris between your teeth and the aligner
