Lost or damaged your Invisalign aligners? Don’t worry—it happens more often than you’d think! The good news is that with quick action and the right approach, your treatment doesn’t have to be delayed. Let’s go over what to do next.

Step 1: Contact Your Dentist ASAP

The most important thing is to reach out to your Invisalign provider immediately. At Dental Couture in Melbourne, we always tell our patients that time is key—the sooner we know, the faster we can find the best solution for you.

• If your aligners are damaged but still wearable, bring them in so we can assess whether you can continue wearing them or if a replacement is needed.
• If they’re broken or completely unusable, we may need to order a replacement aligner to keep your treatment on track.

Step 2: If You’ve Lost Your Aligners, Don’t Panic

Losing an aligner might feel like a setback, but we can guide you on the best next step. Here’s what we might suggest:

• Move on to your next aligner set (only if your teeth are ready for it).
• Go back to your previous aligner while waiting for a replacement.
• Order a new set of aligners if needed.

The key is not to go without an aligner for too long, as this can slow down progress and allow teeth to shift back to their original positions.

Step 3: Prevent This from Happening Again

Once we’ve got your treatment back on track, here are a few pro tips to avoid losing or damaging your aligners in the future:

• Always store your aligners in their case when not wearing them.
• Avoid wrapping them in napkins—they’re easy to throw away accidentally.
• Keep them away from pets—dogs love chewing on them!
• Handle them gently to prevent cracks or warping.
