Previous Aligner: If you have the previous aligner to the one you are wearing, put that in and then call your dentist immediately. Tell him which number aligner broke and whether it was upper, lower or both and he can order it for you. You do not necessarily even need to go to the office until he has received the replacement aligner. Your dentist can even mail it to you once he/she receives it.

Call: Contact your orthodontic specialist for advice immediately. They may suggest returning to the previous pair, moving forward to the next, ordering a replacement, or continuing with the cracked aligner. Only your orthodontist can provide the best advice for your situation.

Don't panic!: Do you mean your invisalign aligner? The best situation is if you can go straight to the next aligner in the series. If you cannot, ask your dentist to re -order the one that broke. Meanwhile you should maintain your teeth in the last aligner that you used before the cracked one. You might even be able to wear the cracked one even if it is in two pieces.

C your orthodontist: They can see about getting it replaced. Do so soon before your teeth begin to shift.
