Do your best not to! This will cause you to frantically look, potentially overlooking them along the way. Instead:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Take a few deep breaths to avoid panicking.<\/li><li>Then, retrace your steps, starting with the last place you remember having them.<\/li><li>Make sure to look in small crevices, like between couch cushions.<\/li><li>If you can\u2019t find them, get in touch with your orthodontist. In the meantime, you may be asked to wear your previous aligner or move on to the next set.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here\u2019s How to Avoid Losing an Invisalign Aligner Moving Forward<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you act quickly, losing one of your Invisalign trays likely won\u2019t cause you to fall off-track with your original treatment plan. Much more than that, though, and you increase your chances of needing to invest more time and money in Invisalign. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to do your best to not lose them! There are a few ways you can do this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Never wrap your trays in a napkin or paper towel while you eat.<\/li><li>Anytime you take your trays out, put them in their storage case.<\/li><li>Put your storage case in the same place each time.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Losing an aligner can be stressful, but, if you act quickly, you can avoid changes to your treatment timeline. So, follow the above tips, like getting in touch with your orthodontist as soon as possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superbraceslawrence.com\/\">Super Braces<\/a> has helped countless patients achieve the smiles of their dreams with Invisalign.
