How often are we suppose to clean our retainers?!
Question: I keep getting conflicting advice. Like my ortho would say once a week with toothepaste and then another ortho tells me to clean it everyday with toothpaste. Also, I have this white stain on my plastic retainer, so is that a sign that there's a problem with the retainer, or is it ok, but it's just a stain?

Everyday! Whenever you brush your teeth just clean your retainer as well... I'm not sure about the white stain it's probably just a stain but if your worried about it show your ortho at your next apt...
I washed mine when I brushed my teeth before I went to bed. I wore mine at night so it worked for me.
You should clean it daily.
my daughters are cleaned daily, and soaked for 10 mins in "retainer brite" every 2 days
