4 Ways to Properly Clean Your Invisalign

Posted by kelvin ray on August 16th, 2016

Here are four different Invisalign® cleaning methods to consider:

The Invisalign® cleaning system. Designed by Invisalign®, this cleaning system helps remove plaque within 15 minutes and keeps your aligners odor-free and clear. You can get the Invisalign® cleaning system here at Elgin Corners Dental.

Purchase a denture cleaning product. While you eat you can soak your aligners in denture cleaner (one aligner per one tablet of denture cleaner). At Elgin Corners Dental we suggest leaving the aligners in the cleaning product for approximately one hour. This should be done twice a day.

Use a baking soda product. Dissolving 1 tablespoon of baking soda in ½ cup of water, and then soaking your trays in the baking soda water for about an hour. This method also should be done twice a day.

Brush your aligners. With a toothbrush and toothpaste brush your aligners, this will help keep them fresh and clean of any particles.
