How to care for your Invisalign Clear Braces?
Here are some of the ways in which you can care for your Invisalign Clear Braces. You can take these small steps to protect your teeth and clear braces. You can take care of your teeth aligners at home to ensure that the Invisalign Teeth braces are maintained.
Clean the aligners regularly
You should clean the Invisalign Clear braces daily so that the clear braces can be disinfected and safe from infections. The Invisalign Clear braces should be cleaned at least twice a day so that you can use them every day without any issues; when you go to clean your teeth in the morning, you can clean the teeth braces, too.
You can also disinfect and clean the Invisalign clear braces at night before you go to bed. You should use soft-bristled toothpaste to clean the teeth braces thoroughly. Use a mild soap and a toothbrush to remove dirt and food debris completely from the teeth braces.
The toothbrush gets to all the nooks and crannies of the teeth braces, so you get completely clean braces to wear again. Do not use your toothpaste on the braces, as the compounds can ruin the Invisalign braces. Once you clean the aligners, you should rinse the clear braces so that you can use them without any debris or residue.
Soak your aligners
To keep the teeth braces clean, you should also keep your Invisalign in water to let it soak. To improve the cleanliness of the Invisalign teeth braces, you should also use cleaning crystals that can be dissolved in water to rinse the dirt and debris out of the teeth braces. You can also get a denture cleaner from our products, which will help you clean the aligners thoroughly.
If you do not have proper cleaning solutions that are meant for soaking the teeth braces, you can also use a mixture of water and vinegar to clean out the aligners and maintain their hygiene. The vinegar and water solution will be slightly acidic, which can clean out your teeth braces and disinfect the braces completely. You should also gently brush the teeth braces when taking the tooth braces out from the soaking solution.
Handle with care
You should always treat the Invisalign teeth braces delicately and handle the braces very lightly. Be gentle with the teeth braces as these can be cracked with improper handling and force. You should handle the tooth aligners in such a way that the aligner material does not bend or face any major damage. With time, the scope of damage to the Invisalign teeth braces can increase. However, if you take care of the teeth aligners and handle them properly, the wear and tear will be less.
When cleaning or soaking the clear teeth braces, you should never use hot water. The hot water is bad for your aligners as it can warp the material it is made out of. The goal is to maintain the shape and integrity of the teeth braces so that you can use them every day, and it is efficient in reshaping your teeth. If you use hot water on the clear teeth braces from Invisalign, the braces will no longer fit in your mouth.
Store the aligners properly
We always recommend our patients to take care of the teeth braces in a proper case so that the storage is never a problem. You need to keep the teeth braces securely inside the case so that the aligners are not lost or damaged so easily. Try to keep the teeth aligners in their designated place in the way it is so that you never lose them.
If you use a napkin around the Invisalign braces, you might lose the set as it can be easily thrown away with the napkin. Do not use anything but a clean case to store the Invisalign braces. If you have pets, avoid putting the Invisalign braces near them and keep them in a safe place. If the pets get the aligners, they will chew the special clear braces, thinking that they are toys.
Conclusion
You can use Invisalign clear braces from Smiley Dental in Boston to keep your teeth well aligned. Always keep the clear braces clean and store them properly so that you can use them for a long time and without any health issues.
