'This retainer cleaner saved me from a £400 dentist bill – I recommend it to everyone'

ok.co.uk:

If you've had or are currently undergoing professional teeth straightening treatments with clear braces like Invisalign, you'll know that keeping the retainers clean and fresh can be a bit of a chore over time.

But I've stumbled upon a solution that took me by surprise. I finished my Invisalign treatment a few years back but even after you're done with the daily trays, you still have to wear thicker, more durable plastic retainers every night – indefinitely.

Despite diligent brushing every morning and weekly soaks in Retainer Brite Cleaning Tablets, they inevitably start to look a bit grimy after a while.

I recently asked my new dentist about getting a new set and was told it would cost me £400 for a scan and the retainers – but this clever little gadget has saved me that expense, at least for now.
