Does it work well on retainers?

Yes! I often run my items thru a couple of times just for the fun of watching it. I also use it for my retainers.

Sorry for the delay in answering. Yes it does. Having said that, you still have to clean the retainer EVERYDAY. Sorry to sound like the doctor, but having put on my braces at 38 years old, I can assure you there is nothing like cleaning the reainter every day (two or three times a day) and your precious mouth as well.

I have the Invisalign retainers. When they stain I have found I need to use the Invisalign crystals several days in a row (available from your dentist). If you do not have Invisalign, my recommendation would be to ask your dentist what would work best for your mouthguard. In my experience the Retainer Brite is great to keep retainers "fresh", but they do not really work very well for removing stains. Hope this helps.

Yes....it sticks pretty good to your teeth, however, I have several crowns, as does my husband and neither of us had any trouble. If it is brand new maybe you should Give it a while to set and then do it. I don't think the substance sticks to the teeth per say. This is my opinion but I think it is hard to remove b/c the substance fits your teeth and gum line tightly. Hope this helps.

It cleans using vibration & UV light. I also add a denture cleaner tablet (like efferdent) to clean my orthodontic retainers. Works great.

That is what it says and I have taken my girls to the orthodontist and they say it appears to be working. It is just getting my daughters to use it more often. Not sure if it works that well on a chip. This is from having braces and not taking care of their teeth better. Tried a Dr. Collins Resore before this but the price went up double the next time I tried to reorder.

No, it doesn't smell like mint. If anything, it smells more like a disinfectant chemical scent. But overall, the smell is minimal and it doesn't stay on your retainers.

Yes, works great. I have a bridge and crowns. I'm really pleased with results.

My son does not have Invisalign but uses them on his clear molded retainers which are very similar to Invisalign. They work great. He has not used the sonic cleaner yet though. Soaking them with the tabs only works fine.

I used it with a new WaterPik. The only issue I had was that the taper of the hose collar didn't match the taper of the bracket. This slight miss match caused the wand to wobble in the holder. I used a Dremmel with a sanding drum to take just a very little bit of material from the lower edge of the wand holder. That solved the wobble problem and allowed the wand handle to drop down to where the bracket had a full grip on the wand handle. I don't blame the bracket. It's hard to be a one size fits all. I like the bracket because it has a solid feel to it when mounted properly.

No, ther is no container in which to clean the retainer. I just use a little plastic bowl that I keep on the counter next to the bathroom sink.

Yes! The Plaque Seeker tip works very well around crowns and bridges, and implants.

I use it for retainers. I brush them daily, but use the nano spa to sanitize them weekly. Takes only a few minutes

I don't know. I used my to retain my teeth in place. Sincerely I doubt that the retainers will close the gap. I am giving you my honest answer.

No this does not help if you need braces. This retainer is only helpful if your teeth continue to shift after you had braces in the past. Usually after you have braces, you get a retainer from your orthodontist to keep your teeth in place - mine broke after many years, so instead of going back to an orthodontist, I found sporting smiles and it has been a pretty good fill in for the past year or so.

Yep, that's what I used it on. Takes a little getting used to because of the gear engagement teeth are so shallow but it works just fine.

It goes between the top and bottom. The secure band goes in front of the bottom gum but I don't see that interfering with a retainer. I've also never wore a retainer, this is just going on memory of a friend who did.

I don't know. But I not my first batch a year ago and it seems to be working fine. BTW. I used to brush the aligners to clean them before soaking them in the Retainer Brite. But I broke an aligned so I now just soak them - they are ever but as clean.
