Need help to get rid of stains from retainers!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See Orthodontist: Retainers should not cause tooth discoloration. Please see the Orthodontist that fabricated the retainer. Your General Dentist may be called upon to do cleaning, whitening, or restorations if the integrity of your tooth enamel has been compromised.
