As the season changes, it’s the ideal time for some spring cleaning – not just for your home, but for your dental routine too! If you're wearing clear aligners, retainers, dentures, or other oral appliances, ensuring they stay clean and sanitized is essential to maintaining your oral health. Not only does a proper cleaning routine help prevent plaque buildup, but it also extends the life of your devices. Let’s dive into some simple hacks to ensure your dental appliances are squeaky clean!
1. Daily Cleaning Is Essential
One of the best ways to maintain your dental appliances is through regular cleaning. Whether you wear Invisalign or night guards, daily cleaning removes food particles, plaque, and bacteria that accumulate throughout the day. This can be done by gently brushing with a soft toothbrush and mild soap or using a specialized cleaning solution.
2. Deep Clean With the Sonic Pro
While daily cleaning is important, it's also vital to give your dental appliances a deep clean every once in a while. The Sonic Pro is perfect for this! It combines high-frequency ultrasonic waves with UVC light to thoroughly sanitize your aligners, retainers, and other dental devices in just three minutes. The ultrasonic vibrations break down tough debris, while the UVC light kills up to 99.9% of harmful bacteria, viruses, and pathogens. This method not only ensures a deep clean but also prolongs the life of your appliances by preventing buildup.
3. Clean During Your Routine
Spring cleaning doesn’t need to be a long process. Incorporate cleaning your dental appliances into your daily routine. Just a few minutes each day with your Sonic Pro can keep your devices free from germs, odors, and plaque. And with its compact, portable design, it’s perfect for traveling, ensuring your appliances stay pristine wherever you go.
4. Use Dental Tablets for Extra Freshness
For a fresh, clean feeling every day, consider pairing your Sonic Pro with cleaning tablets. These dissolve in water and enhance the cleaning process by loosening buildup, giving your appliances an extra level of freshness. Simply place the tablet in the cleaner with your appliance for an effective, effortless clean.
5. Store Appliances Properly
While cleaning is key, proper storage is equally important. When not in use, store your aligners or retainers in their cases to protect them from dust, debris, and unnecessary wear. If you want to go the extra mile, regularly clean your storage case too!
6. Remember: Consistency Is Key
Just like your oral care routine, consistency is essential when it comes to cleaning your dental appliances. The more consistently you clean and maintain them, the fresher they’ll stay, and the less likely you’ll face potential oral health issues down the road.
