Clear aligner therapy is 100% reliant on patient compliance. If they don’t wear it, it wont work. One of the major deterrents of wearing it is discolouration/smell of the aligner after a few days of use.
Please share tips you have to reduce or clean stains/discolouration/smell from aligners below.
Interesting article on aligner staining: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5168413/pdf/ijos201625a.pdf
I have found that the best way to reduce staining from clear aligners is to maintain a good level of oral hygiene. This prevents the aligners from becoming stained in the first place. Also advising the patient of good compliance will help reduce staining as they can progress through aligners quickly without having to hold or backtrack, preventing prolonged wear and increased staining.
However if the patient raises the concern of their aligners becoming stained I usually recommend 50% warm water 50% household white vinegar and a gentle brush. BD
