Help with my CLEAR retainer <span title="please!!!!!!???????!!!!!!!!!?">please!!!!!!???????!!!!!!...</span>

Question

ok so ive only had my clear retainers for about a month. and the bottom one is still completely clear, but the top one looks foggy like at the front of it. i think it may be from where i put chap stick on my lips at night and it rubs against my lips. so i was wondering if i could put makeup remover on it or use mouth wash. what are safe things to clean it with that i would already have around the house, i bought this stuff called klinite and it doesn't help that much. is there a better cleaner out there that you know works better from experience? but i really want to know if i can put my clinique makeup remover on it to get rid of the chap sticky look. please help

Answer 1

Don&#039;t put make up remover on it! It is abrasive to the surface and you don&#039;t really want that kind of residue in your mouth.

Have your dentist prescribe a cleaning solution for you. I have the clear retainers from invisalign but my son has the other type and both use the same cleaning solution.

Answer 2

Brushing it super hard with your toothbrush and rinsing before you put it in the reatainer cleaner helps.

Answer 3

I have clear retainers too and I understand. The foggy stuff is just calcium build up from you saliva (gross, I know) I great easy and effective way to clean them is white vinegar. Pour some in a cup let the retainer sit in the white vinegar for 5 minutes. Brush off you retainers with a tooth brush and rinse them and they should be as good as new!

I promise this works!
