Summary
This study tested five different cleaning methods for Invisalign aligners to see which works best. Twenty people used each method for two weeks. Researchers measured how clean the aligners got and asked participants how easy and pleasant each method was. The goal is to find the most effective and user-friendly way to keep aligners clean.
