These specialized granules are designed to remove plaque and bacteria buildup on clear aligners, maintaining hygiene and clarity. One dissolves the crystals in lukewarm water, creating a cleaning solution where the aligners are then submerged for a specified period. This process helps to eliminate debris and odor, contributing to oral health.
Proper aligner hygiene is crucial for the overall success of orthodontic treatment. Neglecting to maintain clean aligners can lead to bacterial growth, potentially causing bad breath and increasing the risk of tooth decay. Regular cleaning helps preserve the aligners’ transparency, ensuring they remain discreet throughout the treatment period.
