Not sure what model Mercedes you're working with here but ;
Always follow the same , correct steps to ensure satisfactory end results :
Valve adjustment , hot oil and filter change then do a " Diesel Purge " followed by new fuel filters , then if it still smokes / runs poorly / misses , begin looking at the injectors as yes , they do both wear and get dirty .
Depending out your area you'll prolly be able to find a ' Bosch Repair Station ' wherein they'll test , overhaul or rebuild your injectors on an as needed basis .
ALWAYS replace / repair them in sets so every cylinder works in a balanced fashion .
The only variance to this rule is when you're competent to use , and have at hand , a Diesel Injector Pop Tester and ready availability of used / Junk Yard injectors .
The good folks here will walk you through this Laura .
In The San Gabriel Valley area of So. Cal, I know one or two shops if you'd rather just have it done .

Is it better to clean the fuel injectors or replace them? My Mercedes is 51 years old and almost everything under the hood looks untouched/original. If it it better to replace, where is the best place to get them? If cleaning them is best...can I do that myself? What kind of cleaning solution do I use?
Thank you so much!
Laura
