If you encounter any challenges or have questions about your aligners, please don't hesitate to contact our office for immediate assistance.

Protect Your Aligners


With minimal daily maintenance, your aligners will remain pristine and virtually undetectable:


  • Give aligners a quick lukewarm water rinse each time you take them out. Never use hot water for cleaning, as the higher temperature can distort the aligner material.


  • Thoroughly clean your teeth following all meals before reinserting aligners.



  • Keep aligners sanitized by periodically soaking them in a hydrogen peroxide solution.


  • Protect aligners by placing them in their designated storage case whenever they're not being worn.


These straightforward care routines help safeguard both your aligners and oral health by preventing bacterial accumulation that might otherwise lead to dental decay or periodontal issues.

Keep These Tips in Mind


Ensure optimal results from your Invisalign treatment by following these important practices:


  • Always take out aligners before consuming food or any beverages other than plain water.


  • Carry your protective case with you during mealtimes to safely store aligners and prevent misplacement.


  • Notify our office immediately if an aligner becomes lost so we can arrange a replacement and provide instructions.


  • Keep your previous set of aligners as a backup solution in case you misplace your current set.


  • Avoid tobacco products and chewing gum while aligners are in place, as these can discolor or damage the material.


If you need any clarification about maintaining your aligners, please contact us. Our team is committed to supporting your orthodontic treatment from beginning to end.

Frequently Asked Questions About Aligner Care

We suggest rinsing them thoroughly whenever removed and cleaning them with Invisalign crystals provided and a soak in peroxide solution for 30 minutes a day. Do not use colored soaps, toothpastes, or aggressive cleaning agents that may discolor or compromise your aligners. Always rinse completely before placing aligners back in your mouth to remove any residual cleaning solution.

Contact our office immediately if your aligner becomes lost or damaged. Based on your current wear time, we’ll determine whether you should advance to your next set or temporarily revert to your previous aligners while awaiting a replacement. Never independently decide to skip to a new aligner set, as this could disrupt your carefully planned treatment sequence.

Remove aligners when consuming any beverage except water. Heated liquids risk warping the aligner material, while pigmented drinks including coffee, tea, red wine, and dark sodas can permanently stain the plastic, compromising their invisible appearance. Additionally, sugar-containing beverages trapped against teeth by aligners significantly elevate cavity risk. If you must take a quick drink with aligners in, rinse thoroughly with water immediately afterward.
