Not only do clear aligners afford you substantial cosmetic benefits, but their removability also circumvents many of the restrictions associated with wire and bracket braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are still a few things you need to know if you\u2019re going to make it through your Invisalign treatment without any issues. Here are a few do\u2019s and don\u2019ts that you ought to keep in mind as you wear your clear aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do: Soak Your Aligner in Cleaning Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually when you get your Invislaign aligners, you\u2019ll also be given some of Invisalign\u2019s proprietary cleaning crystals. These can be dissolved in water in order to create a solution that can lift plaque and stains off of your trays. It\u2019s best to do this frequently in order to keep your Invisalign feeling fresh, once a day or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t: Use Hot Water to Clean your Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisalign aligners are made from plastic, and like any plastic it is possible for them to warp under certain circumstances. This can happen when your tooth is exposed to extreme heat or cold, which means that when you clean your trays it\u2019s important to use only lukewarm water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do: Brush Your Teeth After Meals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Being able to remove your aligners before eating means that you won\u2019t have to deal with any dietary restrictions. However, if you simply leave the food on your teeth after eating, you\u2019ll accumulate bacteria on your trays. For that reason, it\u2019s important to brush and floss thoroughly after every meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t: Wear Invisalign While Eating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While you can eat anything you want if you take your trays off, leaving them on means that they\u2019re just as vulnerable as if you were wearing traditional braces. You could damage or discolor your aligners if you eat while wearing them, so be sure to be steadfast about removing your trays before your meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, your Invisalign treatment should be fairly easy. Keep these few tips in mind and you\u2019ll be able to get through your clear aligner treatment quickly and easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. William C.
