Aligners are made of clear plastic or acrylic that you wear over your teeth every day. See your orthodontist to have an aligner specially made for your mouth. You will need to revisit the orthodontist for a new set every month or so. This process gradually moves your teeth into a straighter position. Because your aligner is removable, you’ll be responsible for wearing it correctly. Follow your dentist or orthodontist’s instructions about how long to wear your aligner each day. Take out your aligner before you eat or brush and floss your teeth. There are numerous brands of aligners available, such as Invisalign and ClearCorrect. Your orthodontist can help you choose the best kind for you. Some internet companies offer less expensive, mail-order aligners that you use without seeing an orthodontist. Having a full examination by a professional is a safer way to straighten your teeth and know if aligners are right for you.

Summary: Get fitted for an aligner. Wear your aligner appropriately. Choose a reputable brand.


One way of doing this is by gently bending your horse's front two legs at the knees, stretching out the belly and freeing any flesh that may have been caught in the cinches. Be sure that your saddle is properly attached before you untie your horse. Most horses are accustomed to being mounted from the left, and may become frightened if you attempt to mount from the right. Before mounting, ALWAYS check the tightness of the cinch (or girth).

Summary: Pull out any skin that may have gotten trapped under the cinches. Untie your horse. Remember to mount from your horse's left side.


A flesh colored bra offers the most versatility, as shades matching your skin are the least visible under pale, dark, sheer, or thin fabric. Avoid bold colors when wearing light colored shirts or tops made of see-through material.

Summary: Choose an appropriate color.


Any liquid dish soap will work for cleaning your shoes. Use about 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of soap so the water is sudsy but still clear. Stir the cleaning solution with a toothbrush so it’s evenly mixed.  Soap and water work best on all kinds of shoes, including white leather. If you don’t want to use dish soap, you can substitute 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of white vinegar. Dip the magic eraser into your soapy water and wring it out. Wipe in short back and forth motions along parts of your shoes made of leather, rubber, or plastic. Keep working the eraser until all scuffs and stains are removed. Magic erasers can be found in the cleaning section of your local department store. Dip the head of the toothbrush into the water so the bristles are wet. Work the bristles in small circular motions on the surface of your shoes, focusing on heavily stained areas. Use a slight amount of pressure to work the cleaning solution into the shoe’s fabric. Keep the toothbrush you use to clean out of the bathroom to avoid any confusion. Use either a cloth or paper towel to pat the soapy water and dirt off of the shoe. Avoid wiping the towel across the shoe’s fabric since you could spread the dirt across the fabric again. Don’t try to completely dry your shoes with the towel. Just lift off the excess cleaning solution from the surface. After you initially pat them with a towel, put them in a well-ventilated area in your home so they can dry completely. Leave them alone for at least 2-3 hours before wearing them again. Clean your shoes at night so you can leave them to dry overnight.
Summary: Mix dish soap into 1  c (240 ml) of warm water. Clean the soles and rubber pieces with a magic eraser. Scrub stains with a stiff-bristled toothbrush. Pat excess water away with a towel. Let your shoes air dry.
