Why is it important to clean your Invisalign aligners daily?

If you wear Invisalign or another type of clear braces, you know how important it is to keep your aligners clean. But why is daily cleaning so important—and what happens if you skip it?

1. Avoid bacterial build-up

Invisalign aligners sit close to your teeth and gums for many hours each day. If you don't clean them daily, food debris and bacteria can build up – which can lead to bad breath, discoloration and, in the worst case, oral infections.

2. Maintain the transparency of the rails

Without proper cleaning, your aligners can become cloudy and discolored. This not only affects their appearance, but can also make them more visible, which is exactly what many people want to avoid with Invisalign.

3. Protect your investment

Invisalign is an investment in your smile. By cleaning your aligners daily, you take better care of both your equipment and your teeth – and ensure that your treatment goes as planned.

The easiest solution: ultrasonic cleaning

An effective and gentle way to clean your aligners is with an ultrasonic cleaner. In just a few minutes, dirt and bacteria are removed without the use of harsh chemicals or scrubbing. This saves you time and ensures optimal hygiene.

Consider an ultrasonic cleaner for your braces – it makes a world of difference.
