Keep Aligners Clean & Clear

Spending just a few minutes each day on proper cleaning will help keep your aligners clear and discreet:

Rinse them with lukewarm water every time you take them out.
Brush your teeth after eating before putting your aligners back in. Use a soft-bristled brush and gentle touch to avoid scratching aligners.
Gently clean your aligners twice a day by soaking them in hydrogen peroxide.
When not wearing them, always place them in their storage case.
Avoid using hot water, as it can change the shape of your aligners.

These easy steps help prevent the buildup of bacteria, keeping both your aligners and your smile healthy throughout treatment.

Ensure Optimal Results

Follow these simple habits to help your Invisalign treatment stay on track:

Take out your aligners whenever you eat or drink anything other than water.
Bring your case with you to store your aligners safely during meals.
If you lose an aligner, contact our team right away. We'll see to it that you get a replacement and let you know how to handle your treatment in the meantime.
When switching to new aligners, hang on to your prior set. This allows the option of wearing one while waiting for a replacement aligner.
Do not smoke or chew gum with aligners in your mouth. These habits can stain aligners or cause other damage.

If you have any questions about aligner care in Aldie, feel free to reach out. Dr. Kwon and our team are dedicated to helping you feel confident every step of the way.

Gladys M.

I have been coming to Elan Dental and seeing Dr. Kwon for almost 3 years now. Like many people, I have an intense fear of the dentist thanks to dental trauma as a kid. Dr. Kwon is the gentlest, most efficient, and a competent dentist! During the three years, I have experienced numerous treatments (Invisalign, cleanings, filling replacements, and crowns). I have found her entire staff to be extremely knowledgeable and kind as well! From reception, to dental techs, to hygienists….they are all patient centered.

Julie B.

I recently visited Elan Dental clinic for a routine checkup and cleaning. I couldn't be more pleased with the friendly environment of the office staff. In particularly my hygienist, Yen Ly. She is a gem! Yen is very thorough in her cleaning methods. From massaging jaws, scaling teeth, cleaning, polishing to scanning teeth with proper procedures and attention. As for Dr. Kwon, she is a top notch dentist. I appreciated their professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout the appointment.

How do I clean my Invisalign aligners?

To keep your aligners fresh and clear, rinse them every time you remove them. Gently clean them by soaking in hydrogen peroxide. Avoid toothpaste or colored soaps, which can cause damage or staining. Always rinse thoroughly before putting them back in your mouth.

What if I lose or break an aligner?

If an aligner is lost or broken, contact our office right away. Depending on your progress, we may suggest moving to the next set or returning to your previous one. Don't switch aligners without checking with us first. Always keep your last set as a backup to avoid delays in your treatment.

Can I drink coffee, tea, or wine with my aligners in?

It's best to take out your aligners before drinking anything except water. Hot drinks can warp the plastic, and colored or sugary drinks can stain the aligners or lead to cavities. If you take a quick sip, rinse your mouth afterward to help protect both your teeth and your aligners from damage.
