Invisalign has become a popular choice for straightening teeth thanks to its discreet design and comfort. However, proper care is crucial to achieving the best results. At Stroede Orthodontics in Olathe and Spring Hill, KS, we provide guidance to ensure your Invisalign trays remain effective throughout your treatment.


Why Tray Care Matters

Taking good care of your Invisalign trays helps maintain their clarity and ensures they work as intended. Clean aligners also promote good oral hygiene by preventing bacteria buildup.


Tips for Caring for Your Invisalign Trays

  1. Clean Trays Daily:
    Rinse your trays with lukewarm water and gently brush them with a soft toothbrush to remove bacteria and food particles. Avoid using toothpaste, which can scratch the aligners.
  2. Use Cleaning Crystals:
    Invisalign cleaning crystals or denture cleaning solutions are excellent for maintaining the clarity of your trays.
  3. Brush and Floss Before Reinserting Trays:
    Always brush and floss before putting your aligners back in to prevent plaque buildup and keep your teeth healthy.
  4. Avoid Eating or Drinking with Trays In:
    Remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water to avoid staining or damaging them.
  5. Store Aligners Properly:
    Always keep your trays in their protective case when not in use to avoid loss or damage.


Regular Dental Visits During Invisalign Treatment

Routine checkups with your dentist in Olathe ensure your teeth stay clean and healthy while undergoing Invisalign treatment. For complex cases, additional treatments like veneers or dental crowns in Olathe may be part of a comprehensive care plan.
