After starting her own course of treatment with aligner trays, Kennedy said that she is now more inclined to recommend ultrasonic cleaners. “I do try to find solutions and create systems that will work for each individual patient,” she explained, “but an ultrasonic device has been incredibly helpful for keeping my aligners really clean and fresh.”
If sticking to a daily oral hygiene routine is difficult for you, using an ultrasonic cleaner that operates on, say, a three-minute timer could help form good habit-building. While your dental device is being cleaned, you could simultaneously carry out the two minutes of toothbrushing recommended by the American Dental Association, followed by a minute of flossing.
