Have you noticed the presence of white spots on your orthodontic retainers? Even when you brush your teeth regularly, it seems as though they just won’t come off! Or perhaps the plastic has become yellow or stained over the months and years you've been using it?

Sodium bicarbonate - widely known asbaking soda, is a chemical compound containing carbon, sodium, hydrogen and oxygen molecules. This non-toxic, naturally occurringsubstance has been used for a long time as a popular toothpaste ingredient, because of its plaque-removingand teeth whitening properties. Sodium bicarbonate cleanses and disinfects appliances effectively but gently. It provides mild abrasive action that helps to remove dried plaque or tartar and stabilizes the pH of the appliances’ surfaces, helping to kill harmful bacteria. Baking soda is also a natural eliminator of bad smells, which can neutralize and efficaciously absorb odours, leaving your appliances fresh and clean. However, you need to be cautious about alcohol-based mouthwashes. Make sure to limit the frequency of use as it can damage your device, especially if it is made of plastic. An ultrasonic cleaner is more hygienic. With an ultrasonic cleaner, you don’t have to worry about bacteria and germs lingering on the retainer after cleaning, as the sound waves kill germs and bacteria instantly.

My main concern when it comes to using any chemicals is the effects on our bodies. The solution covers the retainers and likely gets into the plastic and acrylic. Retainer Brite is indicated for cleaning all different types of removable dental appliances such as: clear and wire retainers, clear aligners, invisaligns, dentures, sports mouthguards, nightguards, and bruxism and TMJ appliances. Place your appliance into the bubbling blue solution and leave it there for 15 minutes. Make sure your appliances are fully covered with the Retainer Brite solution. Whether you wear your dental appliance all day, all night, or just for a few hours, bacteria can build up on the surfaces and in the grooves of the appliance. These germs cause discoloration and bad odors. Just like your teeth, appliances such as retainers and guards can be adversely affected by plaque and tartar, so it's crucial to clean these items thoroughly every day.
