Cleaning Invisalign Aligners

Date August 4, 2008


Cleaning your invisalign aligners is not a difficult challenge. Cleaning kits for your invisalign aligners will keep your invisalign aligners looking invisible. Many times the invisalign aligners will get foggy after bgeing worn for a long time and not being cleaned. Cleaning kits are recommended, however if you brush your teeth regularly you will not have a problem with fog or film on the invisalign aligners. Remember aligners can be removed to brush your teeth. You should also use a mouth wash like Listerine to fight plaque.

Invisalign.com has a product that is designed for cleaning your invisible braces, however the price is $75 for 50 cleaning crystals and a plastic tub. You should not use denture cleansers as an alternative because some can cause clouding.

Other recommended methods to clean invisalign aligners include:

  • Dawn Dishwasher Soap
  • Vinegar Soak
  • Retainer Brite Tabs
  • Hydrogen Peroxide Soak (50% water / 50% hydogen peroxide)
  • Listerine Whitening Pre-Brush Rinse
