\"invisalign<\/a>If you\u2019re new to the Invisalign treatment, you may have some doubts on caring for your aligners. <\/span>The team<\/span><\/a> at Williamsburg Dental wants to help you succeed with clear braces! Below you\u2019ll find the top seven tips for taking care of your aligners. Read on for everything you need to know about Invisalign in Lincoln!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

#1: Rinse often<\/span><\/h3>\n

Those plastic trays can be a breeding ground for the bacteria that causes bad breath — but only if you let them! Make sure you rinse your aligners every time you take them out (and before you put them back in, too) to wash away plaque and other particles. Doing so will help you keep your trays clean for fresher breath and healthier teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n

#2: Brush and floss your teeth<\/span><\/h3>\n

Because the Invisalign aligners are form fitting to rest snugly against your teeth, they can easily trap bacteria between the teeth and on the surface, too. Brush and floss your teeth carefully before you reinsert your trays to make sure you\u2019re not exposing your smile to decay-causing bacteria. <\/span><\/p>\n

#3: Soak aligners<\/span><\/h3>\n

Use the Invisalign Cleaning Crystals soaking solution to keep your aligners clear and clean throughout your treatment. Denture cleaner is good for soaking, too. <\/span><\/p>\n

#4: Avoid hot water<\/span><\/h3>\n

To keep your Invisalign trays the right shape, make sure you avoid hot water or beverages. These can warp the plastic, potentially delaying your orthodontic treatment. If you do accidentally expose your aligner to high temperature, you should schedule an appointment with your dentist immediately. <\/span><\/p>\n

#5: Be gentle<\/span><\/h3>\n

When you\u2019re brushing your aligner as recommended with a clear, anti-bacterial soap, make sure to be careful. It may feel like you\u2019re getting them really clean with vigorous brushing, but this harsh scrubbing will scratch the aligners.<\/span><\/p>\n

#6: Don\u2019t leave them exposed<\/span><\/h3>\n

While you\u2019re eating or anytime you\u2019re not wearing your Invisalign aligners, make sure they\u2019re soaking or covered. Leaving them out in the open exposes the trays to bacteria and also increases the risk you\u2019ll misplace them or — even worse — throw them away. And when you\u2019re ready to reinsert your trays, make sure to rinse them, first.<\/span><\/p>\n

#7: Keep your old aligners<\/span><\/h3>\n

As you advance through the Invisalign treatment, make sure you\u2019re holding onto your old aligners. It\u2019s always possible that you\u2019ll need to return to an old tray at some point — and when you do, you don\u2019t want to have to have another one made. <\/span><\/p>\n
