Made from clear, moulded plastic, Invisalign retainers are almost invisible and one of the most popular methods for straightening teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign retainers are removable and need some care and attention in order to function to maximum effect. This is done by:

- Brushing and cleaning the retainers twice a day
- Brushing firmly but gently
- Never immersing the retainers in hot water to avoid warping

It may be possible to use a cleaning solution rather than toothpaste which may scratch or damage the retainers but this should only be done after discussing with your dentist whether this is feasible.
