At first, cleaning my Invisalign retainers seemed a bit intimidating.

Before I even get the Invisalign tray and start my Invisalign Review my dentist started lecturing me on cleaning my trays. My dentist said to get those fizzy tablets that old people put their dentures in and clean them like that. Another person in his office that had the procedure done told me to let them sit in listerine and brush them. I wasn’t sure what to do… And we’ve all heard the horror stores of how nasty they get (the smells, the colors, etc.)

I hate mint (I’ve had to use cinammon and lemon toothpaste)

A little FYI – Mint has made me sick throughout my entire life. Just the thought of it makes me gag to the greatest extent. So listerine and anything like that I feel would make me gag alot. However (on a weird note), I love mint ice cream.

So without spending a ton of money on listerine and other denture washes. Ive come down with a system that Ive placed in my Invisalign Review.

“The System” to cleaning the Invisalign retainers

When you take your Invisalign retainers out throughout the day to eat, or for whatever reason… Put them in a cup of warm water and let them soak for 5-20 minutes (depending on how long it takes to eat). If you lightly brush them before you put them back in, most of the gunk comes off. Then before bed and the last time of the day that you brush your teeth, just brush them with tooth paste and water. That’s it! It seems like my system is working so far but I guess I’ll see next dentist appointment in November. Fingers crossed… My Invisalign Review for cleaning my trays wasn’t so bad afterall.
