Cleaning: Use the right cleaner to keep your Invisalign aligners clear and transparent. Some toothpastes can damage aligners by scratching or discoloring them. Use cleaners made for Invisalign or retainers. If these aren’t available, mild, clear liquid soap works. For more cleaning advice, contact us.
Removing Buildup: Aligners often collect debris. To clean them:
Always follow the product instructions for best results.
Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial when using Invisalign aligners. Regular brushing and flossing prevent food and plaque from getting trapped under the trays. One advantage of Invisalign is that it allows for normal oral care routines, unlike traditional braces.
When it comes to eating and drinking, water is the only safe option while wearing aligners. For all other food and drinks, remove your aligners to prevent staining and damage. Invisalign trays aren’t designed to withstand the pressure of chewing.
It’s wise to always carry your aligner case with you. This ensures you have a safe place to store your aligners when you need to eat or drink. For more information regarding the maintenance of your aligners, please contact us here.
In most cases, Invisalign treatment takes 6 months to 1 year.
