Retainer Brite Tablets for Cleaner Retainers and Dental Appliances - 96 Count

I recently started clear aligner orthodontics and didn't get much direction from my orthodontist. His advice was to rinse them under cold water. Sooooooo, if you're going to have an appliance in your mouth for up to three weeks (the timeline of my aligner wear per tray) that doesn't sound very hygienic to me. You're not supposed to brush your aligners with a toothbrush and toothpaste because that can lead to a hazy look on the aligner AND create tiny little abrasions where bacteria can grow. That means at best you'll have bad breath, at worst, cavities! Thanks to the internet I heard about Retainer Brite (you can't use denture tablets with aligners/retainers/bite guards, by the way...I discovered that when I was thinking that would be a viable solution, dangit!) After reading about this product on a couple of orthodontist's websites I looked for it, or something like it, at Target, but no luck. Thank goodness for Amazon, because I wanted something to keep my aligners clean and I wanted it fast! I use these probably more than necessary, but they have kept my aligners SPARKLING clean! I use one tablet twice per day (I use cold water as opposed to the recommended warm water, so that it doesn't warp my aligners) and I am beyond pleased with the results. It's super easy and takes very little time. As soon as I remove my aligners before a meal I pop them into a glass with the tablet, add just enough water to cover them and when I come back after breakfast or dinner...VOILA! I am greeted with FRESH TO DEATH aligners! As a side note, when my orthodontist handed me my first three trays at the beginning of my treatment he said: "They'll only look this clear for the first couple of days. After that they'll be more visible." Meaning, because they would become discolored/hazy and they would be more noticeable by other people. Well, thanks to using the Retainer Brite my trays look almost as clear as when they were brand new! Retainer Brite ALSO allowed me to eat/drink a few things I never would have risked otherwise. Because you're not supposed to have the trays out more than 2-4 hours per day (and my goal is 2 hours max) it's hard to eat enough not to be starving and I also didn't want to waste time with them out on non-clear beverages. Now, I can treat myself to some jello (easy to eat with them in), or a few bites of mashed potatoes or iced tea (which I was really missing!), etc....as long as shortly after I pop the in the Retainer Brite and brush my teeth. That way the only time out for the trays is the time spent brushing my teeth, as opposed to having a snack AND brushing my teeth. I realize this is still probably not ideal, but it has helped me TREMENDOUSLY, because I was having a hard time getting enough to eat each day and still hit my two hour goal. I'm going to add a photo with my first set (used for three weeks and cleaned daily with Retainer Brite) and one of my unused (BRAND NEW!) trays to show just how clear they have remained. For reference, I will put the used tray on top and the unused tray on the bottom. BOTTOM LINE: The results speak for themselves. Retainer Brite was a godsend for me! HIGHLY recommend! Worth every penny!

Retainer Brite Tablets work as intended. They clean retainers and dental appliances without issues, and the process is simple and straightforward. The price is competitive for a 96-count pack, and the quality is solid for regular use. It’s not a standout or game-changing product, but it’s reliable and consistent. Overall, this is a practical, no-nonsense option if you want something that works and is reasonably priced.

Hello everyone! I recently had my braces removed and was given a 2 piece Hawley retainer. My Orthodontist suggested I clean it using a toothbrush and toothpaste, and twice a week to use denture cleaner. I really didn't like the idea of using denture cleaner and using a toothbrush and toothpaste was a huge hassle because you have to get a good grip on the retainer while trying to brush it well, which can be difficult, especially once it's all wet and full of toothpaste suds. I decided to look into other options and came across Retainer Brite. I was hoping I'd find a product made specifically for retainers and I did! I did some research to see what the main difference between Retainer Brite and Denture cleaners were and what I found was that Retainer Brite is made by the same parent company who creates Essix retainers (clear retainers) - their whole goal was to create a cleaner for retainers that was perfectly PH balanced to ensure no yellowing of the appliance and no damage long term. Of course, yellowing only applies to clear retainers, but still - I much prefer to use a product created specifically for retainers rather than dentures as they are two different beasts. One thing I did learn though is that if your retainer has any point where the metal is soldered, you cannot use Retainer Brite or denture cleaners. The chemicals will cause the solder to weaken and break down over time, resulting in a defunct retainer. You'll know if your metal retainer has a solder point by looking for places where two different wires join together and a blob of metal is connecting them. This blob of metal is where they heat up the metal to cause the two wires to merge together. If you have a spot like this do not purchase Retainer Brite or denture cleaners and look into other home-product options. Unfortunately, my bottom retainer does have a solder and I noticed that it started blackening from Retainer Brite, so I use a toothbrush to clean this piece and I place it in a cup of warm water when I'm not wearing it so that I can rinse it off easier by not allowing any debris to "cake on" to it. Regardless, I still love using Retainer Brite for my top retainer and will continue to purchase it for that purpose. As mentioned in my title, it's easy to use - you simply grab a warm glass of water, drop the tablet in and then your retainer. It starts out as the color blue and after 15-20 minutes it turns clear. At this point, I drain the cup, with my retainer still in it, and I fill the cup with more water, drain, and continue swishing around the water in the cup until the retainer and cup are clean from the Retainer Brite residue. I do this so that I don't have to stick my fingers in the Retainer Brite chemicals. I then rinse my retainer off one final time with my hands and then pop it on my teeth. There is zero residue and zero smell. It's awesome. Highly recommend this product!

These work great on my retainers! They clean them well. Great value!

These work best if used often. They don't get all the gunk off by any means, but they do a good enough job to make my retainers look cleaner. They also are great at getting rid of the smelliness retainers get. They start dissolving as soon as they are met with water and only take a couple to a few minutes to dissolve completely.

I use this to clean my retainers every night.

Wow! I use a bite guard to protect my teeth from grinding at night. Mine was very dingy looking, even though I tried other products to clean it with no success. I put one Retainer Brite tablet in my storage box with my bite guard, added water, and left it to soak all day. That evening, when I was getting ready for bed, I opened the storage box and found my bite guard completely clean with no stains left whatsoever. Based on this experience, I recommend this product one hundred percent with no reservations!

great

Me gusta porque no tiene sabor ninguno
