# Vaping and clear aligners



The American Association of Orthodontists \(AAO\) advises avoiding vaping and recommends dental or periodontal assessment when exploring orthodontic care\.



## Handling versus exposure



Illustration: “These aligners are removable\.” Completed reading: “That describes the appliance\. It establishes neither safe vaping exposure nor changed prescribed wear\.”



## A nicotine label



CDC reports most e\-cigarettes contain nicotine\. Aerosol can contain other harmful substances; important effects remain uncertain\.



Illustrative label: “Nicotine\-free\.” Completed reading: “That wording concerns nicotine\. It does not verify this product’s composition or establish that its aerosol is harmless\.”



## Own team first



Keep the treating team’s directions and supplied contact route; this article does not change prescribed wear\.
