Water: Remove appliances, rinse mouth with water, rinse trays with water, reinsert.

Floss only: If you brush and floss morning plus night and floss only after lunch, it will keep your teeth pretty much clean and plaque free. Take care.

Swish and swallow: Surroptitiously remove the aligner(s) and clean with a glass of water and a napkin. Then swish and swallow to clean food debris from your mouth. Follow up with a good brushing when you are able.
