Top 5 Clear Aligners Care Tips (For Perfect Results)

Clear aligners are a discreet way to straighten teeth, but their success depends on daily care. Here’s how to keep them clean and effective:

1. Clean Them Daily:

• Rinse aligners with lukewarm water and a soft brush after meals.
• Avoid: Hot water (may warp them) and abrasive toothpaste (scratches the surface).

2. Remove Them When Eating/Drinking:

• Always take aligners out before consuming colored drinks (e.g., coffee) to prevent stains.

3. Wear Them 20-22 Hours Daily:

• Skipping wear time can delay your treatment progress.

4. Store Them in Their Case:

• When not in use, keep aligners in the protective case to avoid loss or bacteria buildup.

5. Avoid Smoking:

• Nicotine can discolor aligners and reduce their effectiveness.
