Answers:
When you have your teeth cleaned bring it with you and ask the dental hygienist (or dentist) to soak it for you in the ultrasonic cleaner. I do this all the time for my patients with retainers, partials and dentures and the soak I use is pretty powerful. I have also polished them or used my peizo scaler (power scaler) on them if the build up is fiesty. And best of all, its free!
Hope this helps!
