A very common question is how to clean Invisalign so that it is 100% white, perfect and spotless. Some recommend cleaning with baking soda. or with Invisalign vinegar. Today we explain what to do.
Invisalign needs to be looked after. Therefore, the best way to avoid staining is not to drink wine, soft drinks or eat anything. It is transparent and can be stained. In the event that a cover of Invisalign is damaged, We will have to assess at what stage of the treatment we are at. Each sheath is changed every week. If the change is on Thursday, and it is Wednesday when it has been damaged, then you can move on to the next one.
In case it gets damaged the day after exchanging it, you will have to recover the previous cover, contact us and see what we can do. Invisalign just needs to be washed with water, a non-electric toothbrush and a little love and toothpaste. That is enough. You will see that some saliva accumulates in the molar area, which can make it dirty, but that's OK. It can be cleaned and is not noticeable when you put it in your mouth.
Do not use home remedies for whitening or cleaning your Invisalign
The following week you will be able to change it and you will have another completely clean cover. The problem with trying to bleach it too much with vinegar, baking soda or other similar products is that you can ruin it. And not only that, Invisalign has to be in your mouth or your child's mouth for 22 hours a day. Do you really want the remains of some homemade substance that you have cleaned it with in their mouth for that long? No. Of course not.
So don't resort to any home-made solutions. Keep the old cover just in case, clean it daily and take care of it. If you have any doubts, you can contact us at our orthodontic clinic in Valencia and smile!
