At Dr. Direct, we understand that maintaining a perfect smile is an ongoing journey, especially when utilizing modern solutions like teledentistry. Whether you've started with our Express Aligner Treatment or are maintaining your results with our retainers, knowing how to care for these appliances is crucial. Proper maintenance not only prolongs their life but also ensures they remain effective in keeping your smile aligned and healthy.
Daily Cleaning is Key
To ensure optimal hygiene, clean your retainer or aligner each time you take it out. Rinse under lukewarm water and use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove any buildup. Avoid hot water as it can deform the plastic, and be gentle to prevent micro-scratches that can harbor bacteria and odors.
Deep Cleaning Solutions
Regular brushing is vital, but deeper cleaning will help eliminate bacteria and stubborn residues without damaging your appliances:
Our Ultrasonic Cleaner leverages advanced technology to provide a deep clean that manual scrubbing can’t match. It uses high-frequency sound waves to remove bacteria and plaque at a microscopic level, and the UV light sanitizes your appliances, ensuring they are not only clean but germ-free. You can order one for yourself here!
Safe Storage
When not in use, keep your retainer or aligner in a proper storage case to protect it from dust and damage. Avoid leaving it out in the open where it can be exposed to germs or accidentally damaged—keep it away from curious pets to avoid the dreaded “my dog ate my retainer!” scenario.
Regular Inspections
Check your appliances regularly for signs of wear, such as cracks or thinning. If you notice any damage, it’s crucial to replace them to maintain the effectiveness of your treatment. A worn-out appliance won’t provide the necessary support to keep your teeth in their correct position.
