Retainer Brite is a great cleaning system for clear retainers and clear orthodontic aligners such as Invisalign, plastic and wire Hawley retainers and appliances, mouth guards, night guards, bruxism appliances, and TMJ splints. Retainer Brite, however, is not recommended for retainers with metal solder points. Consult your orthodontist for more information regarding retainers, their makeup, and proper cleaning procedures for individual types. Retainer Brite works very well on almost all retainer styles.

Retainer Brite is specially formulated with gentle cleaning agents and the proper chemistry that will not yellow or discolor removable plastic appliances (this is how it differs from denture tablets). It's the perfect solution for clear plastic retainers and aligners - no more scratches, yellowing, or cloudiness! Retainer Brite keeps them crystal clear and good as new, dissolving old plaque buildup and preventing new buildup. Retainer Brite keeps retainers crystal clear and good as new.

You may also want to super charge your Retainer Brite tablets with a battery-operated Sonic Cleaner. These portable devices are typically only 4 inches square, but deliver an impressive 5800 waves per second, deep cleaning where brushes can't reach. To use with Retainer Brite tablets, fill the resevoir with warm (not hot) water, add your dental appliance, drop in one Retainer Brite tablet, and close the lid. Switch on the Cordless Sonic Cleaner and leave for 15 minutes to deeply clean your appliance. After 15 minutes, switch the unit off, drain the resevoir of all liquid, and rinse your dental appliance with clear warm water.

You should also note, that if you have a clear plastic (Invisalign-type) Essix retainer, and amalgam (metal) fillings in your teeth, the fillings may create irremovable black stains on your retainer. There is no retainer cleaner on the market that will remove these black stains, because the plastic of your retainer has actually changed color from the metal in the fillings. Ask your dentist or orthodontist if you need more information about this issue.
