Mouthwash after meals before putting Invisalign on?

Dear airlack,Thank you for posting your question on RealSelf.  I will do my best to answer your question with the information provided.I usually tell my patients to thoroughly clean their aligners twice a day.  Soak aligners in Retainer Brite for 20 minutes then scrub them with warm water (not hot), a toothbrush and liquid dish detergent.  During the day rinse the aligners and dry with a paper towel before putting them in their case.  I recommend trying to find a clear mouth rinse rather than blue, because you run the risk of staining your aligners.  Aligners collect plaque just like your teeth do so following these instructions should prevent you from developing any cavities.I hope that this helps and good luck!Best,Dr. Jenn
