Invisible Aligners Aftercare

Invisible aligners are a perfect option to rectify crooked teeth and the treatment typically takes between 6 to 18 months. The longevity of the results depends on your aftercare practices. Here are some tips and tricks to help you maintain your beautiful smile.

How do I look after my invisible aligners?

Invisible aligners are sturdy and resistant, but they do require specific care. Here’s what we recommend to ensure your results last:

Clean your aligners every time you remove them. You can use a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste or buy an specialist cleaning solution
Avoid eating or drinking while wearing your aligners (except for water)
Store your aligners in their case when not in use to prevent loss or damage
Do not expose your aligners to extreme temperatures, as this can warp them
Continue your regular oral hygiene practices, including brushing and flossing your teeth daily
Attend regular dental check-ups and consultations to monitor your progress

During your treatment, we’ll discuss any habits that could damage your aligners or affect your treatment, like forgetting to wear your aligners for the recommended hours.

What happens if my invisible aligner gets lost or damaged?

In the event that your invisible aligner is lost or damaged, it can be replaced. We recommend contacting the clinic as soon as possible. In many cases, we can have a new aligner ready for you promptly.

How long does the effect of invisible aligners last?

The results of invisible aligners can last indefinitely, provided you follow your dentist’s recommendations. After treatment, you may be given a retainer to wear at night to maintain your teeth’s new position. Regular dental check-ups are also crucial to monitor your teeth and ensure they remain aligned.

Can Invisible Aligners get lost or damaged easily?

While invisible aligners are sturdy, they can be lost or damaged if not properly cared for. Always store your aligners in their case when not in use to prevent loss or damage. Avoid cleaning them with harsh chemicals or exposing them to hot temperatures, as this can warp the aligners.
