How do I care for my teeth while wearing Invisalign®?
Maintaining your oral hygiene routine is simple with Invisalign®. You can brush and floss your teeth
as usual because the aligners are removable. Brush your teeth for two minutes, at least twice a day,
and remember to floss daily. Before placing the aligners back in your mouth after meals or snacks,
make sure to brush your teeth.
How do I care for my clear aligners?
To clean your aligners, dissolve Invisalign® cleaning crystals in warm water and soak your aligners
for approximately three minutes. Afterward, rinse the aligners thoroughly and gently brush them with
a soft-bristled toothbrush and warm water.
Who is a candidate for Invisalign®?
Both adults and teens can be excellent candidates for Invisalign® in Northridge. However, children
with developing teeth and mixed dentition are not suitable candidates. If your child requires
orthodontic treatment, alternative options will be provided by your Northridge orthodontist.
Patients with dental implants and bridges may not be ideal candidates for Invisalign®, and
those with complex orthodontic cases may require alternative treatments.
