Congratulations! It’s great news that you’re receiving Invisalign treatment and moving toward a smile that genuinely reflects your individuality. You actually don’t have to adjust your lifestyle all that much with Invisalign because it’s so simple and has minimal maintenance compared to other teeth-straightening procedures.

Having said that, however, there still are a few things to be mindful of when it comes to caring for your Invisalign aligners since we want you to have the healthiest smile possible. Here are seven quick strategies to keep your Invisalign clear aligners in good condition.

1. When consuming food or beverages, take out your Invisalign clear aligners.

Because Invisalign transparent aligners are so comfortable, you could occasionally forget you’re wearing them. Therefore, remember to remove them before you eat or drink! It’s crucial to remove your Invisalign clear aligners before ingesting anything besides water because food and drink might discolor your aligners and perhaps harm your teeth.

Fortunately, Invisalign transparent aligners are simple to take off and put back on again because they are tailored to fit your teeth and trim your gumline. You can remove your aligners discreetly even while you’re out in public. If you’re going to eat or drink something, just take a moment to step away, remove your Invisalign transparent aligners, and you’re ready to go.

2. Keep your Invisalign clear aligners in their case at all times.

You should wear your Invisalign clear aligners for 20 to 22 hours each day for optimum results. However, it’s crucial that you keep your Invisalign clear aligners in their case for the few hours per day that you’re not wearing them. This will keep them clean and free of any dirt or bacteria, as well as prevent them from becoming lost.

Make sure to keep your clear aligners in a dry, clean place, ideally not in your pocket, in case you ever need to locate your Invisalign case.

3. Use a toothbrush with soft bristles.

You can use warm water, warm toothpaste, and a soft-bristled toothbrush to quickly clean your Invisalign clear aligners each day.

Brush your clear Invisalign aligners gently all over, paying special attention to any places that might have food or drink residue. After giving them a thorough brush, fully rinse them in warm water, and you’re ready to go about your day.

4. Brush and floss.

Brushing and flossing your teeth, as usual, is another excellent approach to keeping your clear aligners clean. This will not only maintain your teeth and gums in good condition, but it will also get rid of any food or drink stains that might be on your Invisalign clear aligners.

We advise flossing before brushing and using fluoride-containing toothpaste at least twice each day. Regular brushing and flossing will become second nature and just another part of your day once you start making them habits.

5. When you remove your Invisalign clear aligners, rinse them.

You can quickly clean your Invisalign clear aligners in lukewarm water each time you remove them. This will assist in removing any food or beverage stains that could otherwise appear on your aligners.

After removing your Invisalign clear aligners, it’s a good idea to give your mouth a short rinse with water and brush your teeth.

6. Do not consume anything that could stain your Invisalign clear aligners

It’s advised to stay away from certain foods and beverages since they have the potential to stain your Invisalign clear aligners. These consist of:

• Tea Coffee
• Red wine
• Cola
• Curry
• Sour cream
• Balsam Vinegar

You should always take out your aligners before eating or drinking anything but water, as you are already aware. Take off your Invisalign clear aligners before eating or drinking anything that can stain them. Then, immediately after, give your teeth a fast rinse and clean your teeth. This will assist in getting rid of any leftover material before it has a chance to accumulate and ruin your clear aligners.

7. Regularly visit your Invisalign dentist

Last but not least, seeing your Invisalign dentist frequently is one of the best methods to preserve both your clear aligners from Invisalign and your general oral health.

Your dentist will be able to monitor the progression of your Invisalign treatment to ensure that it is going as planned and to identify any potential issues early on. The frequency of your dental visits will depend on your needs, so discuss this with your dentist to determine what is ideal for you.

It’s easy to maintain your Invisalign clear aligners, but it’s crucial to follow these guidelines to keep them clean and damage-free. As you move closer to your stunning new smile, you can keep your Invisalign treatment on schedule by keeping these seven suggestions in mind.
