you can soak it in water, but not mouthwash!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Actually, that is not a weird question-I have a reatainer too, and i have that same problem-what i do is brush it often, but do NOT soak it in mouthwash cuz it will do damage to it!. but it helps of you dont eat with it in and brush it a lot of chew gum!.!.!.hope that helpsWww@Answer-Health@Com
mouthwash would be fine though id recomend some kind of cleaner for dentures!. sounds kind of weird but you jsut drop the denture cleaner tablet in water and et it sit for a bit then its all fine! i recommend Polident!. it works very well!. remember dont eat with the retainers in or anythingWww@Answer-Health@Com
I work for an orthodontist and we tell our patients to use a denture cleaner and let it soak 30 minutes to an hour a couple of times a week!. You can also brush them with your tooth brush after you brush your teeth!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
