EverSmile WhiteFoam is a portable, foam-based product that allows users to clean their clear teeth aligners quickly and effectively while away from home. The foam not only rinses and cleans aligners, it also help whiten the wearer’s teeth and provides a breath-freshener.

Clear teeth aligners are an excellent alternative to braces that can improve the alignment of your teeth in as little as a few months. However, these aligners can easily become discolored if they are not properly cleaned.

One good cleaning option is EverSmile WhiteFoam, a portable foam-based cleaner that allows you to quickly clean your aligners while on the go.

Unlike braces, clear aligners are almost invisible, so it is easy to wear them without feeling self-conscious about your smile. The best cleaning option is to use a cleaner specifically designed for clear aligners.

Many people use warm water and a toothbrush to clean their aligners. While this method can work, it is not the most effective option. Plain water cannot remove odors, and a toothbrush might scratch the aligner (especially if it has tough bristles). These scratches create more hiding spots for bacteria and may make the problem worse.

The best cleaning option is to use a cleaner specifically designed for clear aligners. One good option is EverSmile WhiteFoam, a portable foam-based cleaner that allows you to quickly clean your aligners while on the go.

What Does EverSmile WhiteFoam Do?

EverSmile WhiteFoam does three key things:

  • Cleans your aligners. WhiteFoam kills 99.99 percent of the bacteria that collects on your aligners. This keeps them clean and prevents both discoloration and tooth decay.

  • Whitens your teeth. WhiteFoam cleaner gradually whitens your teeth by breaking up staining molecules that settle on your teeth. The effect is stronger with more frequent use and does not cause tooth sensitivity.

  • Freshens your breath. WhiteFoam kills odor-causing bacteria in your aligners and on your teeth. It also has a minty taste that leaves you with fresh breath.

How Does EverSmile WhiteFoam Work?

Using EverSmile WhiteFoam is easy. 

  • First, pour a small amount of the cleaner into the tray. 

  • Next, spread it evenly across the tray. 

  • Then, put the aligner back in your mouth.

Don’t swallow any excess WhiteFoam in your mouth. It’s not poisonous, but you should spit it as you would toothpaste or mouthwash.

You don’t need to soak, brush, or rinse your aligners at any point during this process, making the product perfect for on-the-go cleaning.

If you want a deeper clean, you can soak your aligners in WhiteFoam for a few minutes or brush them gently using a toothbrush coated in WhiteFoam. This is not necessary for good results, but it will provide a stronger effect that might be useful when dealing with heavy plaque or food build-up.

Alternative Ways of Cleaning Clear Aligners

Aside from EverSmile WhiteFoam, there are other ways of cleaning clear aligners. The following are some of the most effective.

Cleaning Methods to Avoid

Some of the home cleaning techniques can work for clear aligners, but others may cause more harm than good. Avoid using colored mouthwash, scented soaps, abrasive toothbrushes, and denture cleaners. These items can cause discoloration, scratch your aligners or leave strong scents or flavors that might make it uncomfortable for you to wear your aligners as directed.

Using a dishwasher to clean your aligners is a bad idea due to the extreme temperatures involved. Hot water can distort the shape of the plastic trays and make them unusable. It’s also a good idea to avoid harsh chemicals such as bleaches and alcohol. Cleaning with these substances can lead to discoloration and may cause dangerous health effects in the long run.

Always take out your aligners when eating. Chewing forces can damage the aligners and make them ineffective for repositioning your teeth. You don’t have to remove them if you’re drinking water, but remember that other drinks can cause discoloration of the trays. When you’re not wearing your aligners, always keep them in their protective case to shield them from germs and other contaminants.
