Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic solution that offers a discreet way to achieve a straighter smile. To maximize its effectiveness, it’s essential to care for your Invisalign trays properly. At Excelsior Orthodontics in Purcellville, PA, we provide expert guidance to ensure our patients achieve the best results.
Why Invisalign Care Matters
Proper care of your Invisalign trays not only keeps them clean and clear but also ensures they continue to move your teeth effectively. Following these care tips will help maintain your oral health throughout your treatment.
Top Tips for Invisalign Care
- Clean Your Trays Daily:
Rinse your aligners with lukewarm water and gently brush them with a soft toothbrush to remove bacteria and food particles. Avoid using toothpaste, as it can scratch the trays. - Use a Cleaning Solution:
Invisalign cleaning crystals or denture cleaning tablets can help keep your aligners fresh and stain-free. - Brush and Floss Before Reinserting Trays:
Maintaining your oral hygiene is key. Brush and floss your teeth before putting your aligners back in to prevent plaque buildup and bad breath. - Store Aligners Properly:
When not wearing your aligners, always keep them in their designated case to prevent loss, damage, or exposure to bacteria. - Avoid Eating or Drinking with Trays In:
Remove your trays before consuming food or beverages (other than water) to avoid discoloration and potential warping.
Regular Checkups for Success
Frequent visits to your orthodontist allow us to monitor your progress and ensure your Invisalign treatment is on track. These appointments also provide an opportunity to address any concerns or adjust your treatment plan if needed.
