Question

Lexie · Answer

Soak in polident for 15 min twice a week.: Easy and fast - I scrub with my toothbrush right after the soak and they look good as new.

Ultrasonic dental pod for retainer/mouthguard: I hemmed and hawed over if this thing was worth $100ish dollars. It has been very worth it.

My nightly routine involves running my retainer + night guard through this with only clean water. It vibrates all the gunk off.

It's so much more effective than just rinsing them, and way less annoying than brushing them with a tooth brush.

Once a week I add a little denture cleaning tablet for a deep clean. (Maybe am I gross for only doing this once a week but it is what it is).

I love this thing so much I take it with me when I travel.
