how to really clean a retainer?

The best way at home is to use denture cleaner...the cleaner does not necess. get rid of everything though! So, to get the retainer absolutely clean, take it to your dentis/orthodontist where they can clean it in a machine called a "ultrasonic"...it is a machine that contains very strong cleaner and produces fast movement...it is similar to a jewelry cleaner machine that is in a jewelry store!

try putting ice on it. then peel it off. may need to put some type of stain remover on the spot after gum is removed.

You could try making a paste with bicarbonate-of-soda and a little water, then applying it to the teeth.  It may not taste too good, and it is harmless.  This product cleans almost everything.

Try rinsing it with toothpaste before use.Wipe the paste inside the mask and rinse it out with water or saliva. They make a paste specifically for it that you can buy at a dive shop, but it basically is just expensive toothpaste.

Go back to the dentist and have him/her to remove that!

Umm... that sounds really bad.  The only time I've ever heard of brown fuzz is typhoid.  Which is unusual, and I hope you don't have it.\n\nWhen you're not wearing your retainer, soak it in hydrogen peroxide.  At least once a week clean it for a long time.  Some retainers can be boiled, some are too weak.  But clean it in something that super kills germs very regularly.  It sounds like you're not brushing Enough (2-4x a day), and like.. you're not taking good care of the retainer.\n\nBut just in case you are, talk to your doctor and your dentist about it.  They'll probably want to do a urinalysis on you and see if you've got any infections.

you are supposed to brush after using them to get the remaining gel off...if you read the instructions you would know this :)

I had one too, and was told that once my wisdom teeth came in (or were taken out) I could get the retainer taken off.  I had mine taken off and the hygenist had a very difficult time getting the tartar off the backs of those teeth.  My advice to you is to get it taken off ASAP.

I would recommend to go to your general dentist and have a professional cleaning done.  Often, the instruments in which I use safely remove orthodontic cement.

Well, first off I would highly recommend a water pic to keep your teeth and gums as clean as possible.  Then when you brush your teeth use a whitening toothpaste or even use plain baking soda from the kitchen.  It will help.\nAfter your braces come off you can get the real whitening strips to make that perfect smile sparkle !

In the past I have used super glue remover. Seems to work for me.

use a toothpaste with baking/bicarbonate soda in it.\n\nWhen you use it, it feels slightly gritty, and it don't taste too good, but it does work really well if you use it twice a day for a couple weeks (sometimes less)

try this method. it's worked for me the past 2 years, and is super cheap!\n1. before you brush your teeth, swish with a 50% water & 50% hydrogen peroxide solution for 30 seconds.\n2. spit out 50/50 solution.  do not rinse mouth with water. \n3. brush with whitening toothpaste*\n\nthis will help keep stains at bay:-) \n\n*the toothpaste i like is Colgate Total Whitening (paste, not gel) \n\ngood luck!

Soak them in "Polident Smokers Denture Cleanser" and use "Sea-Bond Denture Brightening Gel." They work like a charm for stained dentures due to smoke, berries...whatever.\n\nTake care

you can use  toothpaste with a whitener in it,   but if there are badly stained  only the dentist will be able to sort them\n good luck

Ask your dentist.  You might be able to use a removeable appliance that would be relatively inexpensive to fix a minor problem.
