Dos and Don’ts of Invisalign

Invisalign is a new-era solution that gives you the perfect smile. There are always 100 questions we have before using any product. So, here are some Do’s and Don’ts of Invisalign that will help you better understand Invisalign.

Soak the aligners daily –

The Invisalign aligners are transparent and invisible. The aligners need to be soaked at least once a day to maintain their effectiveness. Cleaning crystals or denture cleaners can be used to maintain Invisalign. Invisalign should also be cleaned with a toothbrush in case you eat food while wearing it.

Do Brush your Teeth before wearing Invisalign –

Cleaning and maintaining teeth should also be done in conjunction with Invisalign. Otherwise, dental problems may begin to arise. Therefore, brushing and flossing teeth is as important as keeping Invisalign clean and strong.

Store aligners in Invisalign case –

Invisalign are transparent, so it is easy to misallocate them if not handled carefully. Invisalign aligners should be stored in the Invisalign case to prevent damage or loss.

Don’t take too much caffeine/any other drink –

If you are considering Invisalign, then you need to cut back on your caffeine consumption. Only water is recommended while you wear Invisalign. For long-term maintenance, if you can’t give up the drink, remove your Invisalign before consuming caffeine.

Don’t use harsh cleaners on Aligners –

Invisalign should not be cleaned with toothpaste or any other harsh soap, as this might scratch the aligners. Scratches on Invisalign will make it more noticeable.

Don’t Smoke –

Invisalign requires 20-22 hours of wearing time per day. As a result, you have a grace period to remove it when eating or drinking, but you cannot smoke while using Invisalign. Continuing smoking with Invisalign will result in discoloration of the Invisalign.
