How to Care for Your Teeth While Using a Teeth Straightening Kit

Starting your smile transformation with a teeth straightening kit is exciting, every day brings you closer to the confident smile you’ve always wanted. Whether you choose invisible braces or clear aligners, proper oral care during treatment ensures not only a straighter smile but a healthier, whiter one too.

At Smileie, we design our clear aligners to blend seamlessly into your daily life, giving you the flexibility to straighten your teeth at home without disrupting your routine. But to get the best results, following a solid care routine is key.

1. Brush and Floss After Every Meal

Food particles trapped between teeth can cause plaque buildup and discoloration, especially when wearing aligners for 20–22 hours a day. Always brush and floss after eating before reinserting your aligners.

• Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.

• Floss daily to reach areas your brush can’t.

• Carry a travel-sized kit for cleaning on the go.

2. Clean Your Invisible Braces Properly

Your aligners are in constant contact with your teeth, so keeping them fresh matters.

• Rinse with lukewarm water, never hot.

• Use a mild, non-abrasive cleanser or aligner cleaning tablets.

• Avoid toothpaste on aligners to prevent scratches.

Explore the Smileie Shop for cleaning essentials that keep your aligners clear and odor-free.

3. Limit Staining Foods and Drinks

Coffee, tea, red wine, and dark sauces can stain both teeth and aligners. If you enjoy these, remove aligners first, rinse afterward, and brush when possible to keep your smile bright throughout treatment.

4. Incorporate Teeth Whitening

Straight teeth look even better when they’re white. The Smileie Teeth Whitening Kit is safe to use during aligner treatment and can help enhance your results.

• Use as directed to avoid sensitivity.

• Combine whitening with aligner wear for a complete smile makeover.

5. Stay Hydrated and Rinse Often

Water keeps your mouth clean and reduces dry mouth. If brushing isn’t possible right after eating, rinse thoroughly before putting your aligners back in.

6. Avoid Damaging Your Aligners

Don’t chew on aligners, bite them into place too hard, or expose them to heat. Always store them in their case when not in use.

7. Continue Regular Dental Check-Ups

Even with at-home treatment, routine dental visits are essential to check for cavities, gum health, and overall oral hygiene.
