Q: Dental cleaning after Invisalign? asked by Southpatriot08 parkersburg, wv
A:
To get the buttons to adhere, the surface of the teeth are thoroughly cleaned. Once bonded in place, the surface is protected by the buttons and will remain this way until removed.
Unless this is the first Invisalign case by your doctor, you should be fine (and even it is, you are likely fine).
