  1. 8 THINGS KEEP IN MIND WHEN CLEANING YOUR CLEAR ALIGNERS

  2. Say No To Hot Water Avoid Habit of Soaking Mouthwash Avoid Eating With Aligners Avoid Harsh Cleaning Agents Do Not Use Toothpaste For Cleaning Avoid DIY Repairs Avoid Leaving Aligners Exposed No Boiling Adventures

  3. 1. Say No To Hot Water Avoid using hot water for cleaning clear aligners as it may warp the plastic, affecting its fit and effectiveness. Use lukewarm or room-temperature water for longevity and proper function.

  4. 2. Avoid Eating With Aligners Avoid staining your clear aligners by refraining from consuming anything except water while wearing them. Remove aligners before eating or drinking to maintain their transparency and treatment effectiveness.

  5. 3. Do Not Use Toothpaste For Cleaning Avoid using toothpaste, especially those with whitening agents, as it can be abrasive and harm clear aligner surfaces. Opt for orthodontist-recommended cleaning solutions or mild soap instead.

  6. 4. Avoid Leaving Aligners Exposed Store clear aligners in designated case when not in use to prevent damage or loss. Avoid leaving them exposed or on a napkin. Keeping them in the case protects from dirt, bacteria, and accidental damage.

  7. 5. Avoid Habit of Soaking Mouthwash Mouthwash is great for oral hygiene, but don't soak clear aligners in it. Some mouthwashes have colorants that can stain aligners. Stick to rinsing your mouth; avoid using it to soak aligners.

  8. 6. Avoid Harsh Cleaning Agents Choose gentle cleaners over abrasive ones like particle-rich toothpaste to protect clear aligners. Harsh agents scratch, fostering bacteria and increasing visibility. Preserve clarity with non-abrasive solutions.

  9. 7. Avoid DIY Repairs For damaged or ill-fitting clear aligners, refrain from DIY repairs. Seek prompt assistance from your orthodontist to avoid potential complications and ensure the success of your treatment.

  10. 8. No Boiling Adventures Avoid boiling or dishwashing clear aligners; though seemingly quick, it risks irreversible damage. Extreme temperatures can warp the plastic, compromising fit and efficacy. Follow orthodontist-recommended cleaning methods for safety.
