1️⃣ Why is aligner care crucial?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends daily cleaning to prevent bacterial buildup and staining.
2️⃣ Are ultrasonics suitable?
Ultrasonics provide:
-
Biofilm removal
-
Cleaning interdental areas
-
Reduction of visible deposits
⚠️ Always check manufacturer compatibility.
I cannot confirm that all aligner materials tolerate prolonged use without the manufacturer's guidance.
3️⃣ Best practices
-
Lukewarm water (not hot)
-
Short cycle
-
Thorough rinsing
-
Air drying
