Don't come at her, retainers turn yellow so easily, if you ever eat anything or drink anything besides water with your retainer on it will overtime turn yellow. I have had my retainer for about two years and my retainer is a bit stained. People in the comments are saying JUST GET A NEW ONE!!!! And obviously they don't understand retainers cost money, a lot of money. I probably sound like a Karen but but please don't comment when you really don't understand.

Abir Barbie that depends what type of retainers you have, toothpaste can actually wear down your retainers as there made of a special plastic, if you used the ones shown in the video, brushing them with soap and warm water once when you wake up and once when you go to sleep is good and also making sure to wipe of any spit on them when you take them out when your going to eat anything or drink anything. Usually you shouldn’t be drinking anything, besides water, or eating anything with your retainers on. Hope this helps!!!

My guard bcm yellow wat to do

I tried this, and it worked very well!

Foods and drinks are a main cause of staining clear aligners and retainers. Be mindful of what you drink while you have your retainers in. Anything that can stain your teeth can stay in your aligners and retainers as well. Common food and drink staining culprits are dark colored drinks such as soda and tea.

Thanks Jessica this works!

I brush my prepositioner (kind of retainers) with tooth paste everyday, and still it became very dark yellow

Mine I clean and clean and there’s still some yellow chunk that I can’t tell what side it was on

Now, 2 years later, have you tried Retainer Brite? If so, did it work better?

Can I do this every night? Or will it damage them overtime?

I feel like my retainers are worse than this lol

I'm going to make it a point to clean them at least once a month to avoid heavy staining. And yes, they are not cheap. They cost around $350 a pop so don't lose them, lol 😛

Retainers turn yellow because of glands in the back of our mouths. I have dentist clean and I also clean.

use a sonic cleaner works for me! if you clean them once a month they wint stain lol . I have the retainers for life from my orthodontist totally worth it for someone that is prone to break or lose them alot and you wont have to worry about cleaning them if stained

@ariess7394

Жыл бұрын

Which tyoe of sonic cleaner? Is it specifically for retainer?

I used the metal part of a staple to scrape all the messy parts and it worked! Just takes time. My retainers were stained because I had my braces for a while and once they took them off, my back of my bottom teeth were filled with plaque. So o recommend doing what I did. Also paper clips may work also!

I get a plastic clear cup full it with cold water drop a POLIDENT tab they also have the generic brand at Dollar tree $1 Incase and then I throw my retainers in the cup leave it all day and then two hours before bed I remove them out the cup rinse them with water and just brush them a bit for any residue from the tablet they look brand new after !!

I just finished invisalign a couple of weeks ago and have been using those fizzy denture tablets to clean them. I got the store brand of Efferdent and it seems to be working okay. My orthodontist actually recommended it.

While i was sick with covid I had a terrible sore throat, so in the middle of the night id wake up and pop a cough drop or spray my throat with sore throat spray... Issue is I was also wearing my retainer and well... it got permanently stained yellow 😅 Was so focused on easing my pain I didn't consider the retainers!! Been trying all sorts of things to help get rid of the stain!! Will try this now too! Heres to hoping!!!

When ever I clean mine I juts brush it with tooth paste and water and every several weeks I use denture cleaner. I have had my retainer since 2015 and it has a very light stain on the front and I think it has a very little bit of crusting on the very end of it, but over all it’s pretty clean. I might use this to better clean it.

Your retainer should never look like that. That means you're not cleaning them twice each day. I use a plant based soap each night and each morning. Also sterilize them in vinegar water.
