People love <\/em>Invisalign<\/a>, and you\u2019re no exception. It\u2019s great that they pave the way for a straighter smile, but honestly? Your favorite part is how clear the trays are. This certainly makes it easier to enjoy photos and greet others confidently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We love that for you, but you should know that if you don\u2019t care for them properly, your Invisalign trays will stain. Keep reading to learn how to avoid the wrong kind of attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Clean Your Trays When You Brush<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The best way to maintain crystal-clear aligners is to clean them and clean them often! You should give them a scrub like you do your teeth \u2013 assuming you follow the recommended \u201cbrush twice a day, floss once per day\u201d rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the best results, avoid abrasive and colored products that can mar the surface of your aligners. Mouthwashes can also be problematic, while hot water risks distorting the plastic. In the case of Invisalign, it\u2019s best to stick to what\u2019s plain and basic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clean Your Trays When You Eat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You should not <\/em>be eating or drinking while wearing your Invisalign! This means you\u2019re taking them out and reinserting them before and after meals or snacks. Every time you do this, you expose your trays to the elements, and introduce them to the new food particles clinging to your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cleaning your aligners whenever you remove and reinsert them minimizes harmful and unsightly bacteria build up. Cleaning your teeth <\/em>after treating yourself prevents debris from permanently transferring to the trays. So make sure you brush and floss thoroughly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let Your Aligners Take a Dip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to keeping your Invisalign and pearly whites squeaky clean, you should let them soak for an hour or two. Invisalign cleaning crystals create an effective mixture that will promote pristine aligners. Plus, they make plaque easier to brush off, so they\u2019ll help make your hygiene routine easier.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actually Use Your Invisalign Case<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Remember how removing your trays exposes them to bacteria? Imagine what leaving them out without protection would do! Anytime your trays aren\u2019t in use, they should be in their case. This will also spare them from accidents, such as a furry friend getting a little too curious or a toddler thinking they\u2019ve found a new toy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rinse and Repeat for Travel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re going away for an extended trip, this can complicate your Invisalign care. However, that doesn\u2019t mean you can skip out on maintenance! You should still be following all of these guidelines. It will just take some meticulous planning to make sure you have everything you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since this can be a lot to remember, especially if you\u2019re new to the Invisalign process, it\u2019s a good idea to stay in touch with your dentist. They\u2019ll be happy to give you a refresher and can offer more personalized tips. Maintaining crystal-clear Invisalign trays takes some dedication, but you\u2019ll get used to the routine. The work is well worth it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
