If you have Invisalign retainers, it’s important to keep them clean and free of debris. Here are four ways to do just that:
- Use a toothbrush and toothpaste. Brush the retainers with a circular motion and use toothpaste to scrub any built-up material.
- Use a damp cloth or sponge. Wet the cloth or sponge and wring it out before using it to clean the retainers. Make sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.
- Use an alcohol-based cleaner. Pour alcohol onto a cotton ball or pad, then use it to clean the retainers. Be careful not to get alcohol on your teeth!
- Use a mouthwash with antibacterial properties. Swish 1 teaspoon of mouthwash in each cup of water before using it to rinse the retainers thoroughly. ..
