invisalign


Question Posted Wednesday June 7 2006, 10:44 am

i have one of those invisalign retainers that i have to wear while i sleep. after a couple days it starts to smell and get really gross. ive tried rinsing it with water, it didnt do anything. then i tried using toothpaste. (brushing it like i would brush my teeth) it only worked a little. so i was wondering if there was anything i could do to get them really clean?

i know how you feel because i have a reatainer too. its not an invisalign but whatever its still the same. What I do is i got some denture cleaner from the local drug store. then once a day i soak it in there for atleast a couple of minutes. it makes it really clean and it takes out the nasty smells.

good luck
well i hope this helps

heres a cheaper and easier way
boil some Water in a pot and drop the invisaligns on a spoon make sure it doesnt touch the pot for an extended amount of time so that it doesnt melt
hold them under until they dont smell
but not until they melt

I had the same problem. I also wear an invisalign retainer when I sleep. Here;s how you get it clean. Put some mouthwash in a cup and put your retainer in there for about 2-5 minutes. It will come out clean and smelling nice. Hope this helped!

Check out the products at the drugstore designed to clean and disinfect dentures. You really need to disinfect the retainer thoroughly after each wear.

I would just try soaking it in listerine, or some sort of breath liquid. Or call the makers of invisalign and ask what you can do about it.

well, i dont know if this would work- but maybe you could soak it in mouthwash when youre not using it. i would think that would have to work- since itd be saturated in there for hours. hope i helped!
