WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO PROPERLY CLEAN CLEAR ALIGNERS?

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

 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!

 Must have

If you wearing aligners / Invisalign, get this one, keep your trays clean within a second.


 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!


 Great for Invisalign

Really great for Invisalign- easy to use and cleans well

Easy, quick and effective

I have been using this product for my aligners and now retainers for almost three years and really like it. It quickly cleans and sterilizes my retainers with no discoloration. My orthodontist commented how clean and new my retainers look. I have used both the foam and the gel. I prefer the foam daily and use the gel for travel. I recommend this product.


 You Down With OAP? Yeah, You Know Me!

Seriously, this stuff is amazing. Used it on my clear aligners today, and wow, they are whistle-clean! So much better than the (name brand!) aligner cleaning tablets. A definite must-have for aligners or any dental appliance! Going to use this daily!!!

 Reorder and recommend

Second time ordering it and have recommended to family members!

Antimicrobial Activity of Various Disinfectants to Clean Thermoplastic Polymeric Appliances in Orthodontics

4.2. Changes in Physical Properties

The physical properties of the materials used are critical for establishing a successful orthodontic treatment, both in terms of tooth movement and retention, because mechanical or chemical cleaning may cause scratching on a material surface. According to a study that used different types of chemical cleaners for 6 consecutive months, Retainer Brite® could most effectively affect surface roughness when synthesizing an Essix C+ retainer made of polypropylene/ethylene. Furthermore, the presence of 3% hydrogen peroxide can alter flexural modulus. Studies on polyurethane found that Invisalign® cleaning crystal, Polident®, and Listerine® can cause the most changes in light transmittance. However, it’s reported that patients showed severe gingival inflammation and tooth decay after 4 months of eating and drinking without cleaning the appliance. Thus, cleaning/disinfection of TOAs is important to maintain oral health and hygiene. 

Chemical disinfectants can use corrosion of the thermoplastic appliances and change in color, resulting in shorter service life. It is difficult to determine the optimum disinfection time interval of chemical disinfectants, and most often, the treatments are not aligned with the consumer use patterns, making it difficult in regard to cleaning patterns.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO PROPERLY CLEAN YOUR DENTURES?

Because plaque and calculus can build up on dentures, just as they do on natural teeth, daily cleaning of dentures is recommended. Regular cleaning of dentures is essential to the oral and general health of denture wearers.

Importance of Disinfection

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. 

Ineffective Tablets

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.

Oral Issues

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

Why OAP?

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!

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO PROPERLY CLEAN SPORTS MOUTHGUARDS?

The characteristics of the microorganisms isolated from the mouthguards enable them to disseminate systemically and/or be aspirated into the respiratory tract

Biting Actions

The biting actions athletes perform during mouthguard wear end in a systemic showering of microorganisms throughout the mouth, oesophagus, and trachea

Athlete's Immune System

Without proper cleaning, the immune system could be compromised and athletes could be more susceptible to diseases

Correct Decontamination

Water will not decontaminate MG, but other agents (toothpaste, sodium hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide) may abrade the MG, increasing the possibility of microbial attachment

Microbial Contamination and Disinfection of Sport Mouthguard: In Vitro Study.

Sport mouthguards are dental devices used by athletes who need oral protection during sports activities. Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA), a polymeric polymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate, has become widely accepted as a mouthguard material. There are several issues related to the use of an oral protective device, especially for professional athletes who are subjected to several hours of workout everyday [[ 1]–[ 5]]. Glass et al. [[ 6]] reported an increase of oral lesions in athletes who had used stock mouthguards for an entire agonistic season. Furthermore, mouthguard conditions after wear may facilitate disease transmission (e.g. endocarditis). In fact, the continuous solutions caused by worn mouthguards would facilitate the entry into the bloodstream of all the microorganisms present on mouthguard surfaces. This condition occurs when jagged and sharp areas of the posterior regions of the mouthguards are in close proximity to the pterygoid venous plexus. revention of oral damage, caused by pathogen's flora to hard and soft tissues, can be done by following the basic oral hygiene rules before sport activity and cleaning the device after each use [[10]]. Preservation and cleaning of the mouthguard are often overlooked by athletes who easily tend to abandon this task. Namba et al. [[11]] conducted an interview to 22 rugby players, with an appropriate level of school education, to understand their habits and attitudes towards the hygiene and the use of mouthguards. Only two of them reported to have been correctly guided by a sport dentist on methods to sanitize their mouthguard. When asked if they performed some type of mouthguard cleaning, only one answered that always cleaned it with water.


WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO PROPERLY CLEAN INSTRUMENT MOUTHPIECES?

When various parts of woodwind and brass instruments are used, they become repositories for the users’ oral and pulmonary secretions 

Microbial Transmission

Because these instruments come into intimate contact with the musicians’ oral and respiratory mucous membranes, such exposures may facilitate microbial transmission

Repeated Use

As these instruments are repeatedly played, they build up visible amounts of organic material, providing an excellent habitat for microbial growth

Studies

There has been a great deal of research recently into the transmission of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses by oral means such as instruments

Results

The results of the current study confirmed that wind instruments are heavily contaminated with a wide variety of bacterial and fungal isolates

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO PROPERLY CLEAN YOUR TOOTHBRUSH?

Toothbrushes in daily use can be heavily contaminated with microorganisms, that are mainly depending upon storage conditions

More Than 700 Species of Bacteria Have Already Been Identified in the Environment

The routine use of contaminated toothbrushes may disseminate microorganisms within a person's oral cavities

Contamination of Toothbrushes Occurs Early After Initial Use and Increases with Repeated Use

 Bacteria which attach to, accumulate, and survive on toothbrushes may be transmitted to the individual

Why OAP? 

Studies found extensive toothbrush contamination after use except in cases where an oral antiseptic was used immediately prior to brushing

Efficacy of Different Sterilization Techniques for Toothbrush Decontamination: An Ex Vivo Study

Abstract

Background

Contaminated toothbrushes can cause several oral and systemic illnesses. This study aimed to identify the most rapid, effective, and affordable method for toothbrush decontamination. In addition, the most prevalent bacterial species colonizing toothbrushes were determined.

Methodology

Toothbrushes were collected after two weeks of use by 55 volunteers. The bacterial count was measured before and after sterilization using 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate, 0.1% Listerine, 70% white alcohol, 10% povidone-iodine, 1% sodium hypochlorite, 2% glutaraldehyde, ultraviolet radiation, microwave irradiation, 3% hydrogen peroxide, and 100% white vinegar, with tap water rinse as the control.

Other Results

The toothbrush samples were also colonized by several different types of bacteria. The most common colonizing bacterial species included Bacillus subtilis (28% prevalence), Sacrina (26% prevalence), and Streptococcus pneumoniae (24% prevalence).

Conclusions

Because bacterial contamination cannot be eliminated and different species colonize toothbrush surfaces, cleaning and disinfection are essential to prevent disease transmission.
