Unless you tell someone that you\u2019re wearing them, most people probably won\u2019t even notice you\u2019re undergoing orthodontic treatment. However, if your clear braces become stained, people will definitely notice. How can you prevent this from happening? Read on to find out.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2>How to Prevent Stains<\/h2>\r\nWhen you first get ClearCorrect, your dentist will instruct you to never eat while your aligners are in. Essentially, you\u2019ll take them out before every meal and snack. You\u2019ll also want to remove them before drinking any beverages besides water, since they will definitely cause staining. Also, drinking hot beverages like coffee or tea will warp the plastic on the aligners and compromise your treatment.\r\n\r\nIn addition to keeping excellent track of your diet, you\u2019ll want to brush your teeth immediately after eating and before placing them back in. If you\u2019re in a situation where you can\u2019t brush your teeth, then at least rinse your mouth out with a glass of water. The goal here is to minimize the amount of time that your clear braces spend in contact with stain-causing debris from food and drink.\r\n<h2>How to Clean Stained Aligners<\/h2>\r\nIf your aligners do get stained, it\u2019s not the end of the world. Since many patients will only wear their aligners for a few weeks before moving on to the next set in the series, you could simply wait until that point. If you absolutely can\u2019t wait, here\u2019s how to clean your clear braces.\r\n\r\nWhen you take them out to eat, place them in a container with a special ClearCorrect cleaning solution, or at least lukewarm water. Do NOT use hot water because, as mentioned earlier, it could change the shape of the plastic.\r\n\r\nClearCorrect is an amazing way to shift your teeth into a straighter position. However, they can easily become stained if you don\u2019t practice proper oral hygiene. Keep the tips mentioned above in mind to make sure your treatment stays unnoticeable!\r\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\r\nDr. Mayda Ferguson obtained her doctorate in dentistry in 2000.\u00a0Since then, she has been in private practice in Metairie, LA.
