How to Clean and Care for Your Invisalign® Aligners

Clean and Care for Your Invisalign Aligners

Keeping your Invisalign® aligners clean is crucial for a healthy mouth and great results. At Regent Dental in Ilkley, we guide every patient through the best cleaning and care routines.

Top Tips for Invisalign® Care

  • Rinse every time you remove them: Prevents dried-on plaque and bacteria.

  • Brush gently with a soft toothbrush: Use lukewarm water (never hot) and avoid toothpaste, which can scratch aligners.

  • Soak daily: Use Invisalign® cleaning crystals or retainer cleaning tablets.

  • Store properly: Always keep aligners in their case when not in use.

  • Brush and floss before reinserting: Keeps both your teeth and aligners cleaner.

What to Avoid

  • Don’t eat or drink (except water) with aligners in

  • Don’t use harsh chemicals or mouthwash to clean them

  • Don’t leave them exposed to heat or direct sunlight
