Answers:
Try vinegar!. That's what my orthodontist suggested I use when mine develops white residue!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
you can use vinegar - OR you can use the polident cleanser that older folks use on dentures!. Either one will work !.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Those denture cleaning tablets would work!. But probably soaking it in water with baking soda would help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
