People invest a lot in putting their best smile forward, whether they're using Invisalign, SmileDirectClub, Candid Co, ClearCorrect, or any other aligner. So why does a clear aligner start to seem… less than clear? Did you know that aligners start to get dirty the moment you put them in your mouth? The tight fit that moves your teeth also prevents saliva from washing your teeth clean, meaning that bacteria levels can soar. As odorous compounds and plaque biofilm builds up, you can find yourself with bad breath and cloudy or yellowing aligners.
I had a chance to interview the folks at EverSmile to learn more.
Why was EverSmile created?Dr. Florman and leading Los Angeles patients would hear time and time again this question from his patients': “How do I keep my aligners clean and fresh?” By using advanced anionic hydrogen peroxide technology, Dr. Florman not only answered his patients’ questions but also introduced a patented method of application which provided cleanliness, freshness, and teeth whitening to aligner patients. EverSmile has expanded to included multiple products including OrthoFoam for braces and WhitenFresh for on-the-go breath freshening and teeth whitening. EverSmile is a globally recognized brand selling products in the US, Europe, India, and Australia. With a dedication to providing innovation and science to every smile, EverSmile is leading the oral care industry with unique products and wide distribution including retail and online sales.
What makes it different from other potential cleaning solutions?Other cleaning solutions require brushing or soaking, while EverSmile’s aligner and denture products work while the appliances are worn! This enables them to do double duty, cleaning and brightening teeth as well as cleaning aligners, retainers and dentures. OrthoFoam is different than other braces cleaners in that it is able to whiten under the braces, preventing white spots after removal. EverSmile’s line of products helps patients finish treatment with their best possible smile and healthy, bright teeth! EverSmile solves the number one problem with wearing braces, aligners and dentures by whitening and cleaning on the go! EverSmile uses hydrogen peroxide-based, anionic EverClean technology, which kills 99.999% of common oral bacterial within 60 seconds in laboratory testing.
What are the effects of a retainer or clear aligner that isn't clean?Aligners and retainers fit your teeth very tightly- that pressure is how they move your teeth into their final position. That tight fit, though, also traps in place anything between your aligner and your teeth: bacteria, plaque, dried saliva, food particles, and staining molecules from drinks. Those things are held fast against your teeth where they can do the most damage. Plaque is a soft, yellowish film that contains millions of bacteria which secrete acids that decalcify teeth and cause tooth decay. The plaque can build up into tartar, leaving your teeth yellow or brown. The acid decalcification leaves white spots and causes bad breath (and a funky aligner smell). EverSmile helps your aligners work for you by using that tight fit to spread the hydrogen peroxide-based, anionic EverClean foam into every place stains and bacteria hide. EverSmile keeps teeth healthy and smiles and aligners bright!
EverSmile® AlignerFresh™ solves the number one problem with wearing aligners; whitening and cleaning on-the-go. Which comes in handy for after meals when you can't rinse. AlignerFresh™ uses hydrogen peroxide based, anionic EverClean™ technology and in laboratory testing, 99.999% of common oral bacteria were killed within 60 seconds of exposure. AlignerFresh can be applied up to 6 times per day and it’s so easy to use!
