A beautiful smile is the best feeling. Braces are the best way to straighten your teeth if you have problems with alignment or crowding. Braces are needed for an average of 2 years. However, this will depend on your issues and how closely you follow the instructions given by our orthodontist.

Clear aligners in Dubai are a great option if you don’t want braces.

Invisalign, also known as invisible aligners, will not be noticed by untrained eyes.

You must take care of your aligners to ensure they remain in good condition and avoid health problems.

These are our top five tips to take care of your clear removable aligners.

  1. After removing the aligners, rinse them thoroughly.

Clear aligners will need to be removed every time you eat. Rinse them immediately after you do this. You should take the process of rinsing because you might remember.

What is the importance of rinsing?

Your mouth is home to many bacteria. You risk spreading this bacteria every time you wear your aligners. The bacteria will not build up if you clean the aligners after every use.

  1. To clean your Invisalign, only use Lukewarm water

Plastics can expand and contract when exposed to extreme temperatures. Removable clear aligners not be washed with hot or cold water.

Water should be at room temperature or lukewarm. Our orthodontic specialist can recommend the best cleaning solution.

  1. Before you wear anything, brush and floss your teeth.

As already mentioned, your mouth contains bacteria. This bacteria builds up after you floss and brush your teeth. That is why you always have fresh breath right after brushing your teeth. It then changes over time.

Before you put on your clear aligners, make sure you brush your teeth and floss. It will prevent you from developing dental problems due to poor oral hygiene and help you maintain a clean mouth for longer.

  1. You should not use Toothpaste for Invisalign

Toothpaste can cause damage to Invisalign aligners because it is an abrasive material.

Toothpaste can cause discomfort by scratching the surface of the aligners. Toothpaste can also cause tiny scratches in the aligners, which can harbour bacteria. Toothpaste might seem like an easy and quick way to clean your aligners. But there are other options.

Our dentist can recommend a mouthwash that is safe for sensitive teeth for quick and safe cleaning.

  1. Avoid coloured drinks

Because of the dyes in certain drinks, coloured drinks can stain your aligners. After removing your Invisalign, juices, coloured water, and any other beverage with colour should not be consumed. Our specialist in orthodontics can help you determine what is safe and what is not.
