Proper maintenance of your Invisalign aligners is crucial to achieving the best results from your orthodontic treatment. At Alpine Smiles, we educate our patients on how to care for their aligners to ensure a smooth and effective treatment process.

‍

Cleaning Your Aligners

‍

Regular cleaning of your aligners is essential to prevent plaque build-up and maintain oral hygiene. Use a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water to gently clean the aligners daily. Avoid hot water, as it can warp the aligners.

‍

Storing Your Aligners

‍

When not wearing your aligners, always store them in the provided case to protect them from damage or loss. Leaving them exposed increases the risk of contamination or misplacement.

‍

Oral Hygiene During Invisalign Treatment

‍

Continue to brush and floss your teeth regularly to prevent cavities and gum disease. Rinse your mouth with water or mouthwash before putting your aligners back in, especially after meals.

‍

Avoiding Stains and Damage

‍

Refrain from eating or drinking anything other than water while wearing your aligners. Coloured beverages like coffee or wine can stain the aligners, while chewing food can damage them.

‍

Replacing and Updating Aligners

‍

Follow your provider’s instructions on when to switch to the next set of aligners. At Alpine Smiles, we provide a clear timeline and regular check-ups to monitor your progress.

‍

Conclusion

‍

Maintaining your Invisalign aligners properly ensures a seamless treatment journey and optimal results. For any questions or concerns, the team at Alpine Smiles is here to provide guidance and support throughout your treatment.
