Can a person use invisalign if they cannot always brush right after eating? Running water is not always available during the day at worksites -- could clean extra at night and breakfast.

Answer: Keeping the teeth clean with Invisalign
I understand that it is not always convenient - or even possible- to brush right after eating. I recommend that patients rinse thoroughly with warm water to remove any large food particles, put their aligners back in, and then brush as soon as possible. If even rinsing cannot be done, it is OK to leave the aligners out for an hour or two, on occasion, until brushing and flossing can be done conveniently.I hope this is helpful!

Answer: Invisalign and Ideal Way of Keeping Teeth Clean
You are very concerned about your teeth and brushing after eating while wearing Invisalign. Just the fact that you brush and FLOSS morning and night will keep your teeth pretty much placque free! You have no access to running water at your job sites so i would bring along floss and a small bottle of mouth wash. That would do the trick after eating. Just continue your hygiene habits and your concern and care of your teeth and you and invisalign should be just fine!
