What Are Invisalign®
Clear Aligners?
Invisalign® clear aligners are a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to shift your teeth into their ideal position over time. These aligners are nearly invisible, and because they’re removable, you can continue to eat your favorite foods and maintain your regular brushing and flossing habits without issues.
Each set of aligners is worn for about one to two weeks before switching to the next, with most treatments lasting between 6 and 18 months, depending on your needs.

How to Care
for Your Aligners
Taking good care of your Invisalign® clear aligners is essential. Here are some tips on how to keep them in top shape:
Rinse regularly: Rinse your aligners with lukewarm water every time you remove them. This will wash away saliva and prevent bacteria buildup.
Brush gently: Use a soft toothbrush (not the one you use for your teeth) and clear, unscented soap to gently clean your aligners daily. Avoid using toothpaste.
Avoid heat: Hot water can warp the plastic, so always use cool or lukewarm water when cleaning.
Keep them in their case: When you’re not wearing your aligners, store them in their case to avoid loss or damage.
Consistent care helps your aligners stay clear, odor-free, and effective—so you can stay on track on your path to a straighter smile.
