If you use Invisalign<\/a> to straighten your teeth, properly caring for your aligner trays is an essential aspect of your oral health. Because you\u2019ll be wearing them for 22 hours every day, there are plenty of opportunities for germs to flourish. They can gather in the tight space between your teeth and your Invisalign. This can lead to buildup that can cause bad breath and gum disease- yuck! Fortunately, you can keep your aligners clean with Invisalign Cleaning Crystals. Keep reading to learn how!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Are Invisalign Cleaning Crystals?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign Cleaning Crystals were created by the Invisalign brand specifically to thoroughly disinfect clear aligner trays and retainers. They\u2019re formulated to kill bacteria growth as well as remove any plaque for a thorough cleaning. They\u2019re entirely safe and made of non-toxic ingredients that break down and dissolve any unwanted residue. Using them also prevents your aligners from becoming visibly stained or discolored.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where Can I Find Invisalign Cleaning Crystals?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Usually, you can find these easily enough with a quick internet search and order online. Otherwise, you\u2019re welcome to ask your dentist, who may also be able to provide them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Do I Use Invisalign Cleaning Crystals?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To make the most of your cleaning crystals, it\u2019s important to use them correctly. To do so, follow the steps below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Remove your aligners from your mouth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Rinse them under warm running water. This removes food particles, debris, and saliva.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Fill a clean glass with warm water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Pour one packet of Invisalign Cleaning Crystals into your water. You\u2019re welcome to gently stir to fully dissolve the crystals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Place both your top and bottom aligners into the solution. You\u2019ll need to ensure they\u2019re fully submerged.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Leave them to soak for 15-30 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. After soaking, remove them from the mixture and rinse them again under warm running water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Brush the aligners gently with a soft-bristled brush to remove any additional build-up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Rinse under warm water one final time, then wash your glass to use again later.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    It\u2019s safe to use the Cleaning Crystals twice every day, so you can easily include this step in your daily oral healthcare routine when you brush and floss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These specially formulated crystals make it easy to keep your Invisalign trays in prime condition, which is good news for both your oral health. By keeping your mouth free of harmful bacteria, you\u2019re less likely to develop gum disease or tooth decay. Before you know it, you\u2019ll be finishing treatment and will have a perfectly straight, healthy smile to show for it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
