At 321 Family Dental, we're pleased to offer Invisalign® clear aligners to help our patients achieve winning smiles. Invisalign is an orthodontic system made of discreet aligners. Over time, it corrects misalignment, crooked teeth, and inconsistent spacing.
Aligners work beautifully if you follow the directions provided by your Melbourne, FL, dentist. This includes keeping your aligners clean throughout the treatment timeline.
Keeping Your Invisalign® Aligners Clean with Home Remedies
Of course, there is an Invisalign cleanser, but it's perfectly fine if you'd rather use at-home methods.
First, rinse your aligners thoroughly throughout the day to ensure they stay clean and odor-free. Use room-temperature water.
Next, brushing and flossing your teeth after every meal is vital to prevent trapping debris and bacteria beneath your aligners—you should remove your aligners while eating. Placing your aligners over teeth that have not been cleaned can lead to tooth decay and infection during orthodontic treatment.
It would be best to clean your aligners daily with room-temperature water, mild hand soap, and a soft-bristled toothbrush.
Using water that is too hard or cold can damage your Invisalign system.
If you have questions about Invisalign care during your treatment, a team member is happy to speak with you and offer guidance.
