How to do it

Time
6 min
Water
Lukewarm, approx. 30 °C – never hot

Max two aligners at a time, inside facing up. Rinse the tank after jewelry beforehand. Rinse the aligner and let it air-dry.

With these answers we do not recommend the ultrasonic cleaner, so there is no how-to.

Pick your cleaner to see if it fits, which setting to use and what its manual says.

Why

Invisalign sells its own 42 kHz ultrasonic cleaner for its aligners, so the method is used by the manufacturer. The plastic does not withstand heat and can be deformed by hot water.

Watch out for

  • Never hot water
  • Do not run them together with jewelry
  • If you have a pacemaker: consult your doctor
