How do I clean my aligners, retainers, or night guards?

To keep your appliance clean and clear, we recommend daily cleaning using one of the following methods:

  • Soft-bristle toothbrush: Gently brush with lukewarm water. Avoid toothpaste, as it can be abrasive cause damage.

  • Soaking solution: Soak occasionally in a diluted vinegar solution (1 part vinegar to 3 parts water) for 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

  • Cleaning pods: Use specially formulated cleaning pods to remove buildup and odors.

  • Ultrasonic cleaner (recommended): For the deepest clean, use an ultrasonic cleaner with cleaning pods to reach areas brushing can’t.

Regular cleaning helps maintain comfort, hygiene, and the lifespan of your aligners, retainers, or night guards.
