How to clean braces retainer

I believe that many people do not know how to clean braces and retainers more cleanly, and do not pay attention to the hygiene of the retainers, which will lead to yellow or white dirt on the teeth when the retainers are not taken off. This is mainly caused by food residues and oral plaque. Now let us understand how to clean braces and retainers more cleanly.

To clean the dirt on the dental retainer, you should understand the reasons for the white dirt. Generally speaking, the white dirt on the dental retainer is caused by food residues, oral plaque, etc., and the patient does not pay attention to the hygiene of the dental retainer and does not clean it in time when taking off the retainer. Over a long period of time, white or yellow dirt will be formed. If a dental retainer with dirt is worn for a long time, it will also have an adverse effect on the patient's teeth, such as the formation of molars. Therefore, when white or yellow dirt is found, it should be cleaned in time.

It is difficult to clean the dental retainer with conventional methods such as warm water cleaning, toothpaste cleaning, etc. To clean it effectively, you can soak the dental retainer in a mouthwash solution containing sodium bicarbonate. After soaking for a period of time, clean the dental retainer. This method can generally effectively remove the dirt on the dental retainer. In fact, to better clean the dental retainer, the best way is to clean the dental retainer in daily life. After removing the dental retainer, you should clean it with a toothbrush in time and place it in clean water.

Dental health is very important for a person. Having a nice set of teeth can add points to one's personal image. Therefore, we should pay attention to the protection of our teeth in daily life, especially for people who have orthodontic treatment. Usually after orthodontic treatment, the teeth will be more fragile than ordinary people. Therefore, we should do a good job of daily cleaning in life and develop the habit of rinsing our mouths after meals and brushing our teeth before going to bed as much as possible.
