There are several ways to care for your aligners. We recommend using the Invisalign® cleaning system, though you can also brush them with a toothbrush and rinse them in lukewarm water. Do not use hot water, as it will warp the plastic and ruin your aligners. We also strongly recommend that you do not chew gum, smoke, eat or drink while wearing the aligners, as it can cause damage to the appliance.
