Are you unhappy with the appearance of your smile due to gaps and crooked teeth? You know that there are various orthodontic treatments available to help you achieve a more aligned grin. Braces are a great option, but not everyone is eager about showing off metal brackets and wires. Fortunately, Invisalign<\/a> is available to give you a straight smile with discretion. However, your aligners can become yellow and noticeable over time if you aren\u2019t careful. Read on to learn why this happens and what you can do about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Causes Discoloration in Invisalign Aligners?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are all sorts of foods and beverages that can stain your aligners if you aren\u2019t careful to remove them at first. One of the great things about clear aligners is that you don\u2019t need to cut any of your favorite foods and beverages out of your diet. However, it is crucial that you take your aligners out before every snack, meal, and drink. Not only will the aligners become stained if you don\u2019t, but they are not made to stand up to the pressure of chewing, so you could end up cracking or breaking them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep your aligners from becoming discolored, it\u2019s also important that you diligently clean your teeth and your aligners before putting them back in your mouth. By practicing excellent oral hygiene and keeping everything as clean as possible, you can keep your trays looking clear and invisible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
