Cleaning your retainer regularly is important for maintaining oral hygiene.
Retainers can accumulate:
-
bacteria
-
plaque
-
food particles
Daily Cleaning
Most dentists recommend cleaning retainers daily.
Daily cleaning helps prevent buildup and odors.
Deep Cleaning
In addition to daily cleaning, occasional deep cleaning may help remove stubborn residue.
Many people use ultrasonic cleaners for this purpose.
Avoid Hot Water
Hot water can damage plastic retainers.
Always use lukewarm water.
Storage Tips
When not in use, store your retainer in a clean protective case.
