Toronto Invisalign Tips You Can Use

The Toronto Invisalign retainers we use are convenient and state of the art.  We understand some folks can be a little intimidated by this type of modern dental care. However, these clear plastic removable aligners are easier to use than traditional metal braces.

Still, there’s a learning curve involved. That’s why we’ve taken the time to put together these

Toronto Invisalign tips you can use.

Don’t Forget to Put Them Back In

You can take these clear retainers out when you eat. That also means that you can brush and floss without the hassle of metal braces. So, you can eat what you want and keep up a good oral hygiene routine at the same time.

Just don’t forget to put your invisible braces back in after you’ve finished your meal or brushed and flossed. Toronto Invisalign braces need to be worn 20 to 22 hours a day. That still leaves the possibility to forget them.

Something as simple as a Post-it note on your bathroom mirror helps.

Keep A Case Close

This tip builds on the last one. Taking your retainers out to eat or clean your teeth can be trickier than you might imagine. If you’re eating in a restaurant, you can take them out, put them on a napkin and forget them. When you’re enjoying a meal at home, it’s easy to misplace them.

The answer in both cases is making sure you have a case. With a little bit of research, you can find

Toronto Invisalign cases that are brightly colored and durable. That will make it easier to keep these appliances safe.

Keep Those Aligner Trays Clean

It’s also important to make sure that you keep your aligner trays clean. Otherwise, bacteria can build up on the inside. The process is quite simple.  Lukewarm water and vinegar make a good solution to keep your trays disinfected.

Cleaning them off in the morning and evening is the best way to prevent any buildup. Try to get in a routine here.
