A neutral or slightly alkaline pH can help neutralize acid, protect enamel, and reduce bacterial growth in the mouth.
You can wear lipstick or lip balm with Invisalign aligners, but be sure to apply them after inserting the aligners to prevent transfer.
Porcelain veneers do not require special oral care products. Standard toothpaste and dental floss are suitable for maintaining good oral hygiene.
A dental stimulator with a silicone tip, soft rubber tip, textured tip, massaging tip, bristle tip, gum pick, tongue cleaner, and tongue scraper can be used with porcelain veneers, but remove your aligners for effective cleaning between your teeth.
Inlays and onlays are fillings made outside of the mouth, usually from porcelain, and then bonded to the damaged tooth.
Dental wax can be applied to smooth out rough aligner edges and reduce irritation on your cheeks or lips.
