To get the best results from your Invisalign treatment, you need to maintain good oral hygiene which includes cleaning your Invisalign aligners. Below, we have some simple steps to clean your Invisalign properly: • Rinse and brush your aligners daily. Remove your Invisalign trays and give them a good rinse under running water. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to brush both the inside and outside of the aligners gently but avoid using hot water or toothpaste as these can damage the aligners. • Use a mild cleaning solution. You can purchase Invisalign cleaning crystals from your dentist or online. Dissolve the crystals in warm water as instructed on the package, soak your aligners for 15 to 20 minutes, and then rinse them thoroughly with clean water before putting them back in your mouth. • Keep your Invisalign trays in their case. Always store your aligners in their case when you're not wearing them as this will protect them from damage and prevent bacteria buildup. • Avoid eating or drinking with your aligners. Take out your Invisalign before eating or drinking anything other than water, as this will prevent staining and damage to your aligners. • Use a retainer brite tablet. You can also use retainer brite tablets to clean your Invisalign aligners. Dissolve one tablet in warm water and soak your aligners for 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing them with clean water.
