In fact, that may even be why you were drawn to this teeth-straightening solution! As a result, it\u2019s only natural to feel a bit disheartened when you see that your trays are starting to discolor. With this in mind, read on to learn how to prevent your ClearCorrect aligners from turning yellow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First, Let\u2019s Discuss the Common Causes of Discoloration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, your ClearCorrect aligners will be perfectly clear when you first take them out of the package. However, they won\u2019t stay that way if you begin to adopt some not-so-great habits, like keeping them on when you drink coffee or not cleaning them thoroughly each morning and evening. It\u2019s also important not to leave them out on the table or wrap them in a napkin when you aren\u2019t wearing them since this can lead to them becoming a breeding ground for bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 Ways to Keep Your ClearCorrect Aligners Clean and Clear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know some of the common causes of discoloration, it\u2019s time to cover some steps you can take to keep your ClearCorrect aligners clean and clear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Rinsing your aligners with clean, cool water when you take them off<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using a soft-bristled toothbrush and water to clean them twice a day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Placing your aligners somewhere safe when you\u2019re not using them, like their case<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using clean, cool water (never hot) when cleaning your aligners<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Importance of Brushing and Flossing Consistently<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, even if you take great care of your aligners, they will eventually discolor if you don\u2019t commit to a solid at-home oral hygiene regimen. For that reason, we strongly recommend the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Brushing for a full two minutes each morning and evening<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flossing each evening (or each morning, if that\u2019s easier)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rinsing with mouthwash consistently<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Getting a dental checkup and teeth cleaning biannually<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also a good idea to get in the habit of completing your dental care routine after lunch and any snacks you have too. This will help keep your aligners clear and your teeth decay-free!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.encore-dentistry.com\/\">Encore Dentistry<\/a>, we\u2019re here to provide you with the exceptional dental care you deserve.
