Caring for your aligners is important to keep on track with your treatment plan. Aligners should be worn for at least 22 hours a day, being removed only for eating, brushing, and flossing.
Always be sure to brush your teeth and rinse your aligners before placing them back into your mouth to reduce the chance of bacteria accumulating. You can also use a toothbrush to clean your aligners.
During treatment with Invisalign, you’ll continue with your normal oral hygiene routine. Brush twice a day, floss once a day, and rinse your mouth between meals. When not in use, your aligners should be placed back in their trays to prevent contact with any airborne germs.
