can I use my invisalign for retainers they are very stained ?

Q. I Am wearing invisalign to straighten my teeth. The bottom one are still not straight after about 9 months but the invisalign are finished for the bottom ones. I have been asked to keep my last set on invisalign in all the time for the next 3 months and then I will have to have a brace if they have not moved. The invisalign look very battered and stained although I have cleaned them regularly and I am thinking of stopping wearing them as my teeth look discoloured. Can you tell me if they are designed to be worn for this lenght of time. Thank you.

A. Hi J
It certainly is no problem to wear the invisalign appliances as retainers, however if you feel that they need replacing due to their condition then I am sure your orthodontist will be happy to provide you with a new set to maintain the result you have achieved so far.

For best results simply toothbrushing with liquid soap will prevent any staining from appearing with your new appliance
