Tips And Tricks For Keeping Your Aligners In Excellent Condition

At Commerce Park Children’s Dentistry & Orthodontics, we want your teen to have the best experience possible during your orthodontic journey. This includes taking small steps to ensure their end result is a beautiful and healthy smile. One of the most effective ways to garner great results is to establish a hygiene routine for their teeth, gums and aligners. Consider these tips when you start your treatment:

  • Clean aligners daily: Rinse your trays with lukewarm water every time you remove them and brush them gently with a soft toothbrush to prevent plaque buildup.

  • Avoid colored drinks: Minimize consumption of colored beverages like coffee, tea or sports drinks, as they can stain your appliances.

  • Keep them in their case: When you are not wearing your aligners, store them in their case to prevent loss or damage and to maintain their cleanliness.

  • Brush and floss before placing back in mouth: Always brush and floss your teeth before reinserting aligners to prevent trapping food particles and bacteria against your teeth.

  • Use a clear, antibacterial soap: Clean them with a clear, antibacterial soap to ensure they stay hygienic and free from odor-causing bacteria.

  • Avoid hot water: Do not use hot water to clean your aligners, as it can warp the plastic and affect the snug, customized fit.
  • Change aligners as instructed: Follow Dr. Mary Ritter’s instructions for changing your aligners at the prescribed intervals to ensure the progression of your treatment.
  • Avoid chewing gum: Refrain from chewing gum while wearing your trays, as they can cause discoloration and damage.
  • Attend regular check-ups: Keep up with scheduled orthodontic appointments to monitor your progress and address any concerns or adjustments needed during treatment.
