  2. Rinse Aligners After Wear After removing your Invisalign aligners, always rinse them with lukewarm water first. This will wash away any food particles or debris that may be on the aligners after wearing them. Properly rinsing as the first step cleans them initially before brushing.

  3. Use Recommended Cleaning Products Do not use toothpaste to clean the aligners, as this can be too abrasive and lead to scratches. Use specially formulated cleaning products like Invisalign Cleaning Crystals. These are safe for the aligner material and leave them fresh.

  4. Brush Away Buildup Over time aligners can develop plaque buildup or calcium deposits. Gently brushing the aligners with a soft bristle toothbrush helps scrub away any residue or film. Focus on brushing the insides and along the gumline where buildup occurs.

  5. Avoid Hot Water Never use hot water when cleaning aligners. The high heat can warp or distort the shape of the aligner trays. This will negatively impact the fit and your treatment progress. Always use lukewarm or cool water only.

  6. Store in Case When not being worn, aligners must be stored properly in their Invisalign case. This protects them from getting lost, damaged, or accidentally thrown away. The case also helps keep aligners safe when on-the-go.

  7. Clean Daily Aligners should be cleaned daily to keep them fresh and prevent bacterial growth. Daily cleaning also helps prevent stains or odors from forming on the aligners that will sit in your mouth for 20-22 hours a day.

  8. Schedule Regular Dental Cleanings It's important to still see your dentist for regular professional cleanings and exams even while undergoing Invisalign treatment at 1A Orthodontics in Wandsworth. This will keep your teeth and gums healthy.
