Invisalign Boca Raton | Invisalign Cleaning Dos and Don’ts

Cleaning maintenance for Invisalign is a lot easier than regular braces. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign Boca Raton is removable, clear, and less noticeable. You can remove your trays before meals, and you don’t have to give up nearly as many foods as you would with metal braces. In order to get the most out of your treatment, you have to learn the do’s and don’ts of Invisalign to keep your trays in great shape to be able to achieve the desired results.

Proper Care for Your Invisalign Boca Raton Trays

Remove your trays out every morning and clean both your teeth and the trays thoroughly as bacteria can build up on the trays overnight. Every time you take them out of your mouth, make sure to rinse them to prevent plaque and dry saliva buildup. You also need to soak your aligners for at least 30 minutes every day using Invisalign cleaning kits. Use a soft toothbrush to remove any plaque or food particles before putting them back. This is to make sure that your aligners stay as clean as possible.

The Don’ts of Invisalign

When cleaning your Invisalign, never use toothpaste, mouthwash or soaps that are colored or scented. They can leave residue and cause discoloration. Toothpaste often contains abrasives that form micro-scratches on the aligner’s surface which creates small traps for bacteria to thrive. Maintaining good oral hygiene can also maintain the pristine condition of your aligners. Don’t drink anything but water when wearing your aligners. Hot beverages may distort your aligners as they’re made of plastic.
