Why Aligner Hygiene Is Important
When you wear aligners, they trap bacteria and food particles against your teeth. Without proper cleaning, this can cause:
- Bad breath
- Aligner staining and discolouration
- Cavities and enamel erosion
- Gum disease and inflammation
📖 Studies confirm that oral appliance neglect increases the risk of gum problems and decay (source)
Oral Health Risks of Poor Aligner Care
- Plaque Buildup → Increases tartar and decay risk
- Gum Disease → Red, swollen gums that can progress to gingivitis
- Enamel Erosion → Trapped acids weaken tooth structure
- Odour & Taste Issues → Bacteria thrive in unclean aligners
