Make Sure Your Aligners Stay Clear

Keeping your Invisalign aligners clean prevents buildup and protects your teeth from bacteria. Follow these simple daily care steps to reduce your risk of cavities and gum problems:

Rinse aligners with lukewarm water whenever you take them out.
Brush your teeth after eating before putting aligners back in.
Soak aligners in hydrogen peroxide once daily.
Keep aligners in their protective case when not wearing them.
Never rinse with hot water as it can warp the plastic material.

These easy habits will keep your aligners in excellent condition while protecting your dental health throughout your treatment.

Store aligners in their protective case during meals to prevent misplacement.
Contact our office immediately if an aligner is lost. We can arrange a replacement and advise you on continuing treatment.
Save your previous set of aligners when advancing to a new pair, as they can serve as backups if needed.

How should I clean my Invisalign aligners daily?

Clean your aligners by gently brushing with a soft toothbrush. Avoid toothpaste (too abrasive) and hot water (can warp plastic). Soak your aligners in hydrogen peroxide to sanitize them and rinse thoroughly before reinserting them.

What should I do if my aligners become stained?

Prevent staining by removing your aligners before consuming colored drinks and foods. For existing stains, soak in a 50/50 mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water for 30 minutes, then gently brush with a soft toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly. Regular cleaning prevents buildup that causes discoloration. Avoid colored mouthwashes, which can tint aligners.

What should I do if I lose or break an aligner?

Contact our office immediately if you lose or break an aligner. In the meantime, wear your previous set to prevent teeth from shifting back. Never skip ahead to the next set without professional guidance. Keep your previous aligners in their case as backups throughout your treatment journey.
