Caring for your removable appliances

Just like your teeth, removable appliances can collect plaque, bacteria and tartar over time. Without proper cleaning, this can lead to:

• Unpleasant odours

• Cloudy film or visible buildup

• Staining

• Bad breath

• Shortened appliance lifespan

Daily cleaning helps keep your appliance fresh, hygienic and comfortable to wear — and protects your oral health.

Nylon appliances require gentle but effective care. Harsh products or incorrect cleaning methods can damage the material.

That’s why we recommend using a dedicated cleaning foam designed specifically for removable appliances.

Why use cleaning foam?

• Removes 99.9% of odour-causing bacteria

• Gentle on nylon and other appliance materials

• Helps prevent stains, cloudiness and smells

• Quick and easy — takes just minutes

Cleaning your appliance doesn’t need to be complicated.

Step 1: Dispense foam directly onto the appliance
Step 2: Gently brush using a soft toothbrush
Step 3: Rinse thoroughly with water
Step 4: Allow to dry before placing back in its case

Use daily for best results.

1. Avoid Extreme Heat

Never use boiling water, dishwashers or leave your appliance in hot environments. Heat can warp nylon and affect the fit.

2. Use Soft Bristles

Always use a soft toothbrush to avoid scratching or damaging the surface. Keep a separate brush just for your appliance.

3. Clean It Daily

Daily cleaning prevents bacteria buildup and keeps your appliance fresh and comfortable to wear.

4. Rinse Before Wearing

Always rinse your appliance with water before placing it back in your mouth.

5. Don’t Forget the Case

Your appliance case can harbour bacteria too. Wash it daily and allow it to fully dry.

You may need to step up your cleaning routine if you notice:

• A persistent smell

• Cloudy or white film

• Visible buildup

• A change in taste when wearing your appliance

Using cleaning foam regularly can help prevent these issues before they start.
