What are the treatment guidelines while using a clear aligner?

Clear aligners should be given the utmost care to get positive results. As clear aligners are snug and custom-fitted to the unique curve of your teeth, failing to brush and floss your teeth at least twice a day will promote plaque buildup followed by potential cavities as your teeth, and associating bacteria, is confined in your aligner.

The trays are like little bathtubs for your teeth and you don’t want your teeth sitting in anything that will damage your teeth. Once you remove the trays or aligners make sure that you don’t keep them open. If you keep it exposed to the open space it will be highly prone to the building of the bacteria and also you may be a part of losing them.

It is necessary to brush and floss your teeth before wearing clear aligners. If you wear it without brushing and flossing it will lead to the growth of cavities and other dental issues. And don’t forget to brush your tongue – that is where a lot of the bacteria that cause bad breath reside!

Gum disease or missing teeth are two of the biggest reasons why people lose their preferred teeth alignment. Make sure to do your best to keep your teeth and gums in a healthy condition by following a proper oral hygiene routine. In addition to your orthodontic appointments, schedule regular exams, and cleanings to stay on top of preventing cavities and gum disease.

Maintaining your clean aligners as well as your healthy oral hygiene doesn’t have to be difficult as long as you follow the instructions given by Smile Centre India.
