Summary
This study tested four ways to clean clear plastic aligners worn to straighten teeth. Sixty adults wore aligners for 10 days and cleaned them with one of four methods: brushing with water, soaking in mouthwash, using a cleaning tablet, or an ultrasonic cleaner with a tablet. The goal was to see which method removed the most bacteria. Results help patients keep their aligners cleaner and reduce plaque buildup.
