Which Dental Appliance Cleaner Should You Use?

Orthodontic appliances are truly game-changers when it comes to enhancing your smile and correcting your dental issues. Aligners, retainers, and other dental appliances work better and last longer when you give them some extra TLC. Trust us, you don’t want to end up with bad breath or any of the other consequences of not cleaning your mouth guard, aligner, or retainer.

Cleaning Your Clear Aligners and Retainers

Your dental care team most likely stressed the importance of proper wear and care when you got your dental appliance. From increased brushing and flossing to rinses and other hygiene tools, a solid oral care routine is the key to keeping plaque buildup at bay and preventing gum diseases.

However, just because your toothpaste and mouthwash are good for your teeth and gums does not mean you should use them on your dental appliances. You want a cleanser that is designed to safely clean your retainer or aligner and kill odor-causing bacteria. And, no, you should not just clean them with water.
