Useful aligner timing cues

22 hours of wear leaves about 2 hours total tray-out time in a day. Long meals, coffee breaks, and bedtime delays can eat that budget quickly.

This is a practical reminder, not orthodontic advice. Follow your dentist or orthodontist’s instructions first.

Bundle breaksEat, brush, floss, and rinse before putting trays back in.

Aligner wear timer FAQ

Is 22 hours required for every clear aligner plan?

No. Many plans use a 20 to 22 hour target, but instructions vary. Pick the goal your orthodontist, dentist, or aligner provider gave you.

Why track tray-out time instead of tray-in time?

Tray-out time is easier to forget during meals and routines. Tracking breaks makes it clearer how much of the daily out-time budget has been used.

Can I reset the timer tomorrow?

Yes. Use the reset button at the start of a new day, or whenever you want a fresh count.
