Caring for Your Invisalign Aligners: What You Need to Know

Once you start wearing your clear aligners, caring for them and your teeth is essential to achieve the best outcome. Our dental team will discuss the care instructions with you, but here are some of the basics of Invisalign care:

Clean Your Aligners
After each meal, rinse your aligners with warm water. At least once a day, brush your aligners with a soft-bristled toothbrush and mild soap or Invisalign cleaner.
Brush and Floss
When your aligners are out, brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste to prevent bacteria from getting trapped. Also, floss between each tooth to remove food particles.
Avoid Hard Foods
Don’t eat hard foods like nuts, popcorn, or hard candy while wearing your aligners. For best results, always remove your clear braces before you eat anything.

Benefits of Clear Braces in Chesterfield, MO

Aligned teeth are healthier because they are much easier to keep clean, reducing the risk of cavities. Additionally, properly aligned teeth evenly distribute your chewing force, which reduces excessive wear and tear on your teeth.

If you grind or clench your teeth, invisible aligners can protect your teeth from breaking, wearing down, or cracking. Clear aligners can also address issues with overbites, underbites, and crossbites, giving you a more balanced bite. 

Thanks to leading-edge CAD/CAM technology, Dr. Mahlin can provide you with a more accurate and precise orthodontic treatment. In addition to being virtually invisible, Invisalign clear aligners usually require fewer dental appointments. If you want to avoid the hassle and cost of adult braces, we provide Invisalign treatment in the Chesterfield, Clarkson Valley, Ellisville, and Ballwin communities. 

Invisalign can correct the following: 

  • Crooked and turned teeth
  • Overlapping teeth
  • Uneven spacing
  • Bite alignment concerns

The Invisalign Treatment Process

Dr. Mahlin will create a comprehensive Invisalign treatment plan to meet your unique needs and fit your lifestyle. We recommend that patients wear their aligners for at least 22 hours each day. Typically, Dr. Mahlin will ask that you wear each set of aligners for one or two weeks, and then you can switch to the next sequence until your treatment is complete.

Remember, the key to achieving your dream smile with Invisalign is to wear the aligners as Dr. Mahline prescribes. The more you remove your aligners, the longer your treatment will last. 

image of straight white teethYou may remove your aligners to eat, drink, or brush your teeth, but remember to wear them consistently to achieve optimal results.

You can gently clean your aligners with soap and water but do not use hot water, or it can damage them.  If you prefer to use a mild cleanser designed for clear aligners, Dr. Mahlin can offer you some suggestions. It’s best to avoid having your aligners in the heat, as they can warp and fail to fit your teeth correctly. 

Once your treatment is complete and you’ve achieved the smile of your dreams, you must wear retainers to preserve your new smile. Wearing a retainer will help you keep your teeth in place so that they don’t drift back into misalignment. 

Testimonial

Dr. Mahlin made me feel so comfortable

This is the first time I have ever done a review before having any service provided, but Dr. Mahlin and his staff deserve this praise. Never have I met a more welcoming, warm dentist like Dr. Mahlin. I have anxiety about dental procedures and Dr. Mahlin made me feel so comfortable with his calm, caring care. He only developed my treatment plan so far, but he wants me to be in charge of how we proceed. I have significant work scheduled already because I trusted him completely. He even sent me a hand written thank you note...a doctor! In his own handwriting! I am blown away by his sweet nature and I just know that I will become a lifetime patient.
