How often do you have your teeth cleaned?

I'm getting my first Invisalign trays on Monday. I was wondering if your dentist recommended more frequent dental hygiene appointments during Invisalign treatment? How often do you have your teeth professionally cleaned during your Invisalign treatment?

I have traditional braces, but I upped my cleanings to every 3 months from every 6 months. I'm super afraid of staining and they said that it would help

The dental technician told me it was a good idea to have your teeth professionally cleaned every 3 months while wearing Invisalign.

My ortho recommended twice a year and my insurance won't pay for more! but with invisalign you're brushing your teeth more frequently anyway so you shouldn't need to go every 3 months unless it's a personal preference!

My dentist is also my Invisalign provider. I go in every 6 months. You're oral hygiene really ramps up with Invisalign (or it should!) so my last cleaning was nothing. Also, the straighter your teeth are, they easier they are to keep clean anyway.

Every 2-3 months I go.
