Invisalign clear braces are becoming an increasingly popular choice for correcting smiles, but what happens when the treatment is finished? Maintenance is key to keeping your smile looking its best, and it starts with brushing and flossing regularly. Use a floss with water or a floss and needle device to pass the floss between your teeth, and brush at least twice a day, especially after eating. It's also important to remove the trays at mealtime. Leaving them in can damage the trays or cause other issues.
Avoid drinking hot liquids with the trays in place, as they could warp or bend. If you need a spare pair of trays, there could be a significant delay in obtaining them. Using damaged trays can also disrupt healthy progress. To keep your Invisalign aligners clean, rinse them off every day with toothpaste, a denture cleaner, an antibacterial soap, or cleaning crystals designed for Invisalign. This will help ensure that your smile stays healthy and beautiful.
