A lot of people who want a perfect smile and perfect teeth. Invisalign aligners have been a new trend in correcting crooked teeth. Invisalign for teens is a new trend in Singapore today. Invisalign aligners in Singapore have a lot of advantage compared to ordinary metal braces from its aesthetic looks to flexibility. Like ordinary braces, Invisalign aligners also have the proper care.
Here are the tips on taking care of Invisalign aligners for teens:
Put It In Its Proper Case
Invisalign aligners in Singapore usually have their own case. Since these aligners are removable, it can easily get misplaced. When removing your aligners from your mouth, make sure to keep it in its box and not leave them exposed anywhere. Having your dog gnawing your aligners is the last thing you want to happen.
Clean Your Aligners Regularly
Invisalign aligners for teens are transparent in colour; however, without regular cleaning, it may have some discoloration. It is advisable to clean your aligners in the morning and night. Use a separate soft toothbrush to clean your aligners. Use a small amount of antibacterial soap in cleaning your aligners, not toothpaste. When using soap, don't use coloured ones, or it will cause discolouration.
Soak Your Aligners When Not In Use
When not in use, you can soak aligners in its box filled with cleaning solution for disinfection and maintaining its shape. If you have no cleaning solution, using a denture cleaner is also an alternative. Brushing your aligners is also a choice.
Brush and Floss Before Wearing Them Back
Make sure that there are no contaminants sitting in between your teeth before putting back your Invisalign aligners. Wearing them back without brushing will trap contaminants and can cause bacterial growth. It can also cause discolouration of your aligners.
No Drinking and Eating
Eating and drinking with your aligners on are not allowed unless it is water. Drinking coloured beverages may cause discolouration, while eating solid food may cause dents. It may also stick if you eat sticky food. Remove and soak your aligners when you eat.
