It is important to clean your aligners daily with a soft brush and toothpaste to avoid the build-up of plaque and stains. It is also recommended to regularly use a special aligner cleaner to ensure that the aligners are completely clean.
It is important to wear your aligners according to your orthodontists’ instructions. Most patients are advised to wear their aligners as close to 22 hours a day to ensure the treatment is effective.
You should remove your clear braces when eating. You should also remove your aligners when drinking anything other than water.
It is important that you bring your aligners to your orthodontic appointments. This allows your orthodontist to check how well they are fitting.
It is important to follow a good oral hygiene routine throughout your orthodontic treatment with invisible aligners. Poor oral hygiene can lead to cavities and periodontal disease which will affect your orthodontic treatment outcomes.
You can ensure that the treatment is effective and safe. However, remember that your orthodontist or orthodontic team member is always available to answer any questions you may have during your treatment.
