HOW TO CLEAN RETAINERS

An effective retainer cleaner is the key to keeping any type of orthodontic retainer looking clean and smelling good. Cleaning retainers regularly also keeps them germ-free and helps them last longer. When it comes to the best way to clean retainers, the type of material your retainer is made from should not have a major impact in how it is cared for.

The key to proper retainer cleaning is to remove debris, as well as germs, on a regular basis and to do so in a way that does not harm the structure of the appliance. If left to build up, deposits can cause odor, discoloration and can even potentially lead to illness.

If you wear an orthodontic bite plate, the process of cleaning bite plates is the same as it is for cleaning retainers.

Oral Health

Without proper Invisalign cleaning, your oral health can be compromised due to the health-impacting, decay-producing and odor-causing bacteria, along with viruses and germs that can be trapped within the Invisalign aligners

Proper Storage

It’s also important to regularly clean Invisalign storage containers, since they can be breeding grounds for germs and can transfer those germs to the Invisalign aligners when placed back in their storage containers

Encapsulates Your Teeth

Invisalign fully encapsulates the teeth in clear plastic therefore anything that gets trapped inside the Invisalign, whether in the form of visible food particles or invisible bacteria and germs, remains in constant contact with your teeth

Issues with Current Aligner Care

Denture cleaning by brushing using only a denture brush, or a regular brush, and tap water may not be enough to eliminate fungus. Therefore, daily denture cleaning plus disinfection is claimed to be vital in preventing disease.

It was concluded that the use of cleansing tablets during overnight denture storage (in addition to mechanical denture cleaning) did not affect the fungus count.

In the literature, oral issues such as angular stomatitis, denture stomatitis, undesirable odors and tastes, as well as staining have been reported

It has been suggested that the ideal denture cleanser should be antibacterial and anti fungal, non-toxic, compatible with the denture material and should not alter or damage the surface of the denture...therefore OAP was created!

Exceeded my expectations!!!!

I’m on my second bottle - the first lasted at least three months. I wear a “retainer” to prevent snoring while I sleep. I use this cleaner every evening before I put my retainer in and brush it with a soft bristle tooth brush. It removes all build up and leaves my appliance with a very clean, minty soft freshness. How I would have loved this product when I was a kid with a retainer after braces!! It totally removes any unpleasantness after a night’s sleep and it’s just like new after cleaning. It beats toothpaste, denture cleaner and mouthwash hands-down. I am a very loyal fan of this product.

Sparkling Clean!

When I began using Invisalign the hygenist at my dentist's office suggested this to clean my trays. It takes the Invisalign from cloudy to crystal clear in just a minute or so. I use it each night with no issues. Great product!

Good as new!

My #1 reason for buying this is because germs and bacteria creep me out and I want my Invisalign trays to be sanitary. Squirt the foam into the trays and use a toothbrush to gently scrub them and they look like new!

Reorder and recommend

Second time ordering it and have recommended to family members!

Love it!

I love this. Makes cleaning my night plate very easy!

Great for Invisalign

Really great for Invisalign- easy to use and cleans well

Great for plastic dental appliances

I got this for daily cleaning of an oral sleep apnea appliance, which is similar to a hard plastic retainer. Very light scent, does not imbue retainers with scent.

Produces lots of foam with just a tap on the nozzle. I recommend shaking the bottle for a few seconds before dispensing.

Foam stays on through brushing of oral appliance, then rinses off cleanly and easily.

Foam does not seem to dissolve mineral deposits in appliance. I use a soaking solution periodically to help with that. Have used OAP about a month and plan to keep using by it. A good cleaning product, not harsh or smelly.
