Invisalign
Keeping your aligners in top shape.
Good daily habits protect your aligners and help your treatment stay on track. Here’s what to do, and what to avoid.
Daily Care
Do
Clean aligners at least once daily with lukewarm water and mild, clear liquid soap
Store aligners in their case whenever they’re out of your mouth
Handle aligners with clean hands
Brush and floss before reinserting your aligners after eating
Avoid
Toothpaste on your aligners, which can be abrasive
Leaving aligners loose in pockets, purses, or on napkins
Hot liquids while wearing aligners, since heat can warp the plastic
Eating or drinking anything but water with aligners in
