I am happy to endure a lot in pursuit of my Hollywood smile, but one thing that I’m not prepared to suffer is bad breath. I have begged my husband to tell me if he smells even the slightest whiff, but honestly, I think he is too kind to bring it up. My daughters, however, are another story and would gleefully revel in letting me know, so it’s them I am relying on as an early warning system.
These are a couple of guides to keeping your Invisalign clean.

>Wow, thanks for the tips. I’m definitely going to try that. ^^^ They have invisalign cleaning crystals, but they are way too expensive. I’m glad you haven’t had any color changes or bad odors. Thanks, again.
I really like reading ur blog.
>Ditto.
I really wish my dentist had provided more instructions regarding how to care for the trays. I’d be bit cautious about cleaning with bleach too and will check with my dentist about the steradent. The tip about rinsing them thoroughly has been helpful though!
Thanks and look forward to more updates!

This blog is great i am getting my invisilign in 1hour and have been reading all of you posts! i too have crohns so seems like we have loads in common!! jenn
That was the worst advice ever your doc gave to you lol. The best way to clean them is with a soft bristle brush & warm water, if you cant afford the crystal cleaners. If you can afford the invisalign iam very sure you can purchase cleaners. I was warned against other tablets because they make the aligners foggy and more noticeable. Hope you got that hollywood smile! PEACE
Hi June,
I have actually been using Polident for 2.5 years on my aligners, including on a set I wore for about 3 months. I’m happy to report that they aren’t cloudy or foggy at all, just as crystal clear as ever. I think some people like to sell you the crystals because they are more expensive. They aren’t necessary though.
i have the crystals but i dont know how do use it
