To wash Invisalign aligners, rinse them with lukewarm water and clean them gently using a soft toothbrush and a clear, unscented liquid soap. Avoid hot water, toothpaste, or coloured mouthwashes as they can warp or stain the trays.
At Droitwich Dental Studio, we guide patients on best practices for Invisalign care to keep aligners clear, odour-free and bacteria-free throughout treatment.
What Not to Use When Washing Invisalign
- Toothpaste (abrasive and can cause clouding)
- Coloured or scented soaps (can stain or leave an aftertaste)
- Mouthwash (alcohol content can damage plastic)
- Dishwasher or boiling water (can permanently distort aligners)
These substances may affect the transparency, comfort and hygiene of your Invisalign trays.
How Often Should You Clean Invisalign?
You should clean your aligners at least twice daily—ideally when you brush your teeth in the morning and before bed. Additionally, rinse them every time you remove them during the day to keep bacteria and odours at bay.
Good aligner hygiene supports effective treatment and reduces the risk of gum irritation, plaque buildup and bad breath.
