How to 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.

• 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.

• 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

As a Diamond Apex Invisalign® provider, we support you at every step, from cleaning tips to troubleshooting.
