When patients are excited about Invisalign treatment, the number one benefit we tend to focus on initially is the fact that they’re clear! The trays you place over your teeth to align them with the goal of attaining a gorgeous grin are composed of see-through plastic that means you can enjoy the advantages of orthodontic care without the visibility of traditional brackets and wires. So, keeping those trays clear and free of stains is sort of important. How to do this effectively? You probably already have a pretty good idea. Our quiz will make sure you’re on track.
Quiz Question: True or False?
