Are you ready to hear some good news? You don’t have to wear uncomfortable, rough metal braces to straighten your teeth. With Invisalign® in Coral Springs, you can say goodbye to painful canker sores that form inside your lips and cheeks, resulting from the brackets irritating your oral mucosa. This unique orthodontic treatment can help align your teeth and improve your bite through clear aligner trays. The best part is they are easy to maintain. Here’s how to care for your Invisalign® aligners.
Cleaning your aligners is paramount. To make it easier to remember, we suggest you clean your trays every time you brush your teeth. You may use toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove dirt and other food debris from your aligners. Regular cleaning is vital to prevent bacteria and plaque from forming.
Talk to your orthodontist about what products are acceptable when cleaning your aligners. Some products contain harsh and abrasive ingredients that can affect the invisibility of your aligners.
One major advantage of Invisalign is you get to remove them when eating. But make sure you put them back on once you’re done brushing your teeth for the treatment to be effective. You need to remove your Invisalign trays to avoid staining or damaging them. The only drink you can have while wearing aligners is water.
We recommend our patients invest in an Invisalign case. So that if you take them out when eating or brushing your teeth, they’re kept safe. Some patients who wrap their trays in tissue accidentally throw them away. To be sure, keep them in a safe case.
