Invisalign Care & Maintenance

Curious about how to care for your Invisalign aligners in Queens NY at Bayside Dental Arts under the guidance of Dr. Andrey Ilyabayev? Proper care ensures effective treatment and good oral hygiene.

Cleaning Your Aligners Regularly: Clean your aligners at least once daily, preferably morning and evening. Rinse with lukewarm water and gently brush all surfaces with a soft toothbrush and mild, clear liquid soap. Avoid toothpaste as it can be abrasive. Specialized Invisalign cleaning solutions can also be used as recommended by Dr. Andrey Ilyabayev. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.

Storing Your Aligners Properly: When not wearing them, always store your aligners in their designated case to protect them from damage and contamination. Avoid leaving them loose in pockets, purses, or on napkins.

Handling Your Aligners With Clean Hands: Always handle your aligners with clean hands to prevent the transfer of germs and bacteria to your mouth and aligners.

Avoiding Hot Liquids While Wearing Aligners: Do not drink hot liquids with your aligners in, as heat can warp the plastic and affect their fit, potentially compromising your treatment. Remove them for hot beverages.

Removing Aligners Before Eating and Drinking Anything Other Than Water: Always remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything except plain water to prevent staining and damage. Brush your teeth before reinserting them.

Maintaining Good Oral Hygiene: Continue to brush and floss your teeth regularly after meals and before putting your aligners back in to prevent plaque and food particles from getting trapped.
