Dos for Maintaining Invisible braces
Clean your invisible braces
It is very important to keep your invisiblebraces clean so that they work well and last a long time. Brush your invisible braces gently with a toothbrush that has soft bristles and clear soap that doesn’t scratch. This method doesn’t hurt the skin and gets rid of plaque and food bits. Soap shouldn’t be used because it can be too rough and damage the aligners, making them less clear and less comfortable to wear. To keep your invisible braces looking their best and to keep germs from building up, clean them regularly.
Secure your invisible braces
Keep your invisible braces in their case at all times when you’re not wearing them. This is really important when you eat or drink. When you put your invisible braces in the case, they won’t get dirty or broken. Make sure the case is clean and dry before you put your invisible braces in it. Germs that could hurt your invisible braces can live in a dirty case.
Take care of your teeth and gums
You need to take better care of your teeth when you have quiet invisible braces on. You should floss and brush your teeth twice a day to get rid of food and plaque. It’s important to keep your teeth and gums healthy because gaps and gum disease can make it hard for your invisible braces to fit right. Cleaning your teeth and gums every day is good for your overall tooth health and can also help your invisible braces work better.
Follow your orthodontist’s orders
Your orthodontist at Risus Dental will show you how to put on and take off your invisible braces correctly. It is very important that you follow these steps if you want your treatment to work. Your teeth will move forward as planned if you wear your invisible braces for the right amount of time and switch to new set of aligners as instructed.

Drinks with a lot of sugar or colour can stain your invisible braces and make plaque build-up. Don’t drink pop, coffee, or tea while your invisible braces are on. If you drink these things, make sure to rinse your mouth out with water to keep your teeth white and your invisible braces from breaking. You can take water while your aligners are on
