How should I clean Invisalign?
Brush inside and out with tooth paste and tooth brush. If you rinse with water when you take them out it will keep them cleaner. Dont eat or drink with them in. Finally you can use an Invisalign bright white (or poly dent/efferent) to soak them for about 10 min to freshen them up. READ MORE
