    cleaning retainer

    I finished with my last top tray. They made me a retainer that looks the same
    as my trays did. They said to clean it with denture cleaner. My invisaligh
    said not to use denture cleaner because it cold affect the invisible finish.
    Whats the best way to clean a retainer?

    The best person to get advice about this from is your ortho. Maybe your retainer is more heavy duty than your aligners, and this is why you can use denture cleaner.

    For more reading about keeping aligners clean ... and this will hopefully help with your retainer ... read here.

    I also like the advice I read somewhere, if you're not sure about a cleaning routine and you have an old aligner, use it on the old one for a couple of weeks and check the results.

    Great that your top arch is finished!
    After 5 years, 11 months and two days of stainless steel brackets ... my teeth now have upper and lower bonded, gold wire, retainers and removable clear retainers!
