How to Tell If Your Aligner Isn’t Tracking — and Fix It Fast

When your aligner isn’t fitting just right — don’t panic, just chewie it out!

A little gap between your tray and teeth? That means your aligner might not be tracking.

  • Grab your chewie.
  • Bite and hold for a few seconds.
  • Move it around and repeat for a few minutes a day.

That tiny foam cylinder works magic to help your trays fit snug and keep your smile on schedule. 

If things still feel off after a few days, call your DJC dream team — we’ll get you back on track in no time.
