Daily Care and Maintenance of Your lnvisalign Aligners
1. Clean your aligners prior to each insertion. Use a soft bristle toothbrush using water do not use toothpaste. Recent research shows toothpaste weakens and scratches the trays.
2. Rinse each aligner thoroughly with water after each cleaning.
3. DO NOT use denture cleaners to clean aligners or soak them in mouthwash. These products damage the surface of the aligner, causing it to become dull and stain more easily.
