Traditional braces are one orthodontic treatment designed to straighten your teeth, but if you are a teen or adult with mild to moderate orthodontic concerns, you may want to consider Invisalign® clear aligners.
Because they are nearly invisible and can be removed to eat, brush, and floss, Invisalign aligners are a popular alternative to braces.
So, how do you clean your Invisalign aligners? Keep reading to learn more.
Tips for Cleaning Invisalign Trays
It’s best to establish a routine for cleaning your clear aligners. Here are some cleaning tips to help:
- Rinse your aligners every night with warm water. This will remove any food particles and bacteria. Every few days, soak your aligners in Invisalign cleaning crystals.
- Brush your aligners each day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and antibacterial soap. You don’t want to use toothpaste because it can scratch them.
- After brushing your aligners, rinse them again.
- Store your aligners in their case when you aren’t wearing them. This will keep them clean and safe from harm.
