Answer 6

In the morning, put your retainers in a glass of water, and let them sit for about 15 mintutes or more if you want. No more than an hour. Then take them about, and brush them, like with toothpaste and water and a toothbrush. Then brush your actual teeth, and place the retainer back in. Hope i helped(:
