Invisalign
braces arrive from the factory sealed and sparkling. It is very
important as well as essential to keep your braces fresh and new
looking and avoid discoloration and unpleasant odours.
Taking
care of Invisalign aligners
is very simple. While you brush your teeth simultaneously you can
brush your aligners as well. The best way to clean your aligners is
to use the Invisalign cleaning kit.
Cleaning
tips before first wear
Invisalign
are available in small, sealed and individual packets. After
undergoing an extensive cleaning and sterilization process they often
have a chalky residue. Although this is harmless some people have
reported an allergic reaction to this residue. It is advised to give
your Invisalign braces a thorough ad careful wash before inserting
them for the first time.
Cleaning
tips for invisalign between meals
When
you remove your aligners to eat, either give them a thorough rinse
under running water, or place them in a glass of water while you are
eating. This prevents a white coating developing on the plastic and
also avoids them from having an unpleasant odour when you come to
reinsert them. After eating, first thing to do is to remove the trays
from their case or glass of water and brush them with a soft
toothbrush. By this you will be able to remove any residue that is
left from their last wear. A rinse under running water is also
suffice to keep them fresh until further brushing can be done.
Cleaning
tips for invisalign cases
Invisalign
cases come with a red and a blue case to store them in. These cases
are very useful but they become very dirty quite quickly. No matter
how clean they look to the naked eye, they tend to develop a strong
odour due to aligners being placed in them that have not had all of
the saliva removed from them. It is vital to clean your invisalign
cases as well as you aligners. The cleaning can be done in a similar
way to the way that you apply for cleaning your braces. A rub with a
soft toothbrush couples with a small quantity of the dishwashing
detergent will help to keep them clean.
If
you want to keep your invisalign aligners fresh a more extensive
cleaning is required once a day. While placing them under running
water and brushing them care should be taken to gently clean each of
the individual tooth segments to remove any white residue that could
eventually result in foul odours. Do not to use toothpaste as this
can cause tiny scratches on the surface of the aligner. These
scratches will not only look unsightly they can also provide a
breeding ground for bacteria as well. Always rinse the aligners in
cold water as warm water can warp the plastic of the aligner. Once a
day aligners can be placed into a sterilizing solution.
