Answer 2

Brush better, it's plaque buildup.

Answer 3

It could be plaque that is getting provoked by the retainer and an electric brush usually stops this happenning,

maybe chew some sugar free gum before bed and then you should be getting rid of any excess plaque,

hope I helpedxx

Answer 4

I think its because the retainers make you sleep with your mouth open and that makes you get all sorts of plague and bacteria. Try rinsing your mouth with mouthwash like listerine before you go to sleep and that will help keep the white stuff away.
