Cleaning your retainers regularly with disinfectant tablets and other specialised methods is essential to maintain their hygiene, prevent bacteria build-up, and keep your dental appliance in excellent condition.

Whether you wear a retainer, aligner, or another dental appliance, using the right cleaning product can make all the difference.

Why is retainer cleaning important?

Retainers and other dental appliances come into contact with saliva, food debris, and bacteria daily. Without proper cleaning, they can develop:

  • Unpleasant odours and discolouration
  • Harmful bacteria build-up that increases the risk of oral infections
  • A shortened lifespan, requiring premature replacement

By incorporating effective cleaning methods into your routine, you can ensure your appliance stays fresh and functional.

How to clean retainers

There are a range of products, such as antibacterial retainer cleaning tablets, that can help remove stains, odours, and bacteria from your retainers.

For daily maintenance, you can use antibacterial sprays such as Puradent to keep bacteria at bay. For deeper cleans, disinfectant tablets like Dentipur or Nitradine are highly effective.

For an advanced, hands-free solution, devices like the Sonic Spa Pro are ideal.

Dentipur & Nitradine tablets provide a professional-grade clean at home. These tablets effectively eliminate bacteria, making them perfect for ensuring optimal oral hygiene.

Using them is easy! Just place one tablet in 150ml of lukewarm water and allow your retainer to soak in the solution for at least 15 minutes. Then, rinse your retainer under the tap to remove the residue.
