\"Patient<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

With no dietary restrictions or cumbersome oral hygiene regimens, Invisalign has a reputation for being a hassle-free orthodontic treatment. While it certainly is superior in aesthetics, comfort, and convenience, it still comes with some responsibilities. With this in mind, keep reading to learn some Invisalign<\/a> dos and don\u2019ts to help you stay on-track with your treatment plan!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Do Rinse Your Aligners When You Take Them Off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prevent saliva from getting caked-on the surface of your aligners, you need to rinse them thoroughly each time you take them out. You should also run some water over them again before you put them back in; this will help prevent them from becoming smelly or stained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Use Hot Water to Clean Your Trays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re quickly rinsing your aligners after lunch or giving them a deeper clean in the evening with a soft-bristled toothbrush, make sure to check the temperature of the water first. This is important because, if the water is too hot, it can cause your trays to warp!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do Brush Your Teeth After Each Meal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Think about it\u2026 If you don\u2019t brush before putting your aligners back on, then they will trap food particles, plaque, and other debris against your teeth for hours on end. This dramatically increases the chances of oral health problems developing, like cavities, which can bring your treatment plan to a temporary stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Leave Your Aligners on the Table<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When the time comes to take your aligners out \u2013 whether it\u2019s to eat or complete your oral hygiene regimen \u2013 don\u2019t leave them on the table or your bathroom counter. This is one of the easiest ways to accidentally misplace them, break them, or throw them away. Instead, put them in their case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do Prioritize Your Check-in Visits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Periodically throughout your Invisalign treatment, you\u2019ll visit your dentist. Each and every one of these appointments is crucial because it allows them to monitor the movement of your teeth. So, don\u2019t skip them, even if you already have your next several sets of aligners!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Drink Coffee with Your Trays In<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a common misconception that you can drink coffee with your aligners in if you use a straw. However, hot coffee (like hot water) can warp your aligners. Plus, iced coffee can still leave behind stubborn stains. That\u2019s why patients are encouraged to only drink water with their trays in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
