Top Tips For How To Clean Retainers

Keeping your retainer clean may not be on the top of your priority list, but what if it would take less than a minute a day? Not only is cleaning your retainer quick and easy, but it will also go a long way toward keeping it bacteria free, stain free, and longer lasting.

On a daily basis, the best way to clean your retainer is to rinse it in cool water and use a soft bristle toothbrush to gently brush away any debris. After rinsing and gently brushing, make sure to allow your retainer to dry completely before storing it. Making sure it is dry will effectively keep that growth at bay and keep your retainer bacteria free.


For the deepest clean, the best way to clean your retainer on a weekly basis is to use a retainer cleaning tablet. Simply drop a tablet in a cup of water, add in your retainer, then let the fizzy bubbles work their magic as it soaks. Your retainer will be left squeaky clean and minty fresh. Chomper Labs’ custom formulated cleaning tablets are 99% anti-microbial, remove stains, and prevent discoloration of your retainer to keep it longer-lasting, and fresh for wear every day. The tablets couldn’t be easier to use and will keep your retainer fresher than using water alone. With how often your retainer is in your mouth, it’s very important to keep it as clean and bacteria-free as possible, both for the longevity of your retainer and also for your own health.

If you have a hawley wire retainer and you’ve been neglecting to clean it,  you may start noticing white deposits from calcium buildup. To get rid of this build up, try soaking your retainer in a mixture of 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts water for 15 to 30 minutes. Afterward, use a soft toothbrush to scrub away any remaining calcium and then rinse thoroughly in cool or warm water.

When it comes to caring for your retainer, just a few minutes is all you need. Keeping your retainer clean will keep it bacteria free and lasting longer so you don’t have to worry about replacing it as frequently. The best part is, it couldn’t be easier!

At Chomper Labs, we create quality custom night guards and give you the ability to choose the material that’s best for you. We’ll walk you through the main factors to consider and explain the difference between two common types of night guards.  There are two main factors to consider when choosing a night guard: the level of grinding protection you need and the level of comfort you want.
