What should i do with my retainers after eating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cleaning retainers: Simply cleaning your retainers the same way you clean your teeth, brushing them, with tooth paste and rinsing, always works best. Avoid letting them dry with bacteria on them (from normal wear) and they won't develop a lot of crusty deposits.
