Thorough yet gentle brushing removes residual film, bacteria and food particles after each use. A soft-bristled toothbrush with antimicrobial toothpaste cleans between teeth and plates without abrasion that could potentially alter the precision-molded fit over many brushes. Consider an interdental brush for hard-to-reach rear spaces.
Rinsing under warm water completes cleansing before air-drying or storing in the protective case between wear periods. Keeping your appliance dry prevents warp or degradation from excess moisture exposure over time. The solid container also shields from other environmental risks like extreme heat.
Avoid denture cleansers or bleaching formulas, as their chemicals could break down resilient polymers over many uses, compromising the structural integrity and comfort edges that have been molded to contour. Stick to soaps safe for your natural teeth and gums.
Regular replacement every 3-5 years depending on wear sustains efficacy and comfort as natural shifts subtly alter optimum positioning. New digital scans capture matured dental changes, updating jaw alignment and ensuring continued patency preventing events from returning. Insurance may cover medically necessary substitution.
Inspect for damage regularly, bringing your appliance to your next check-up if cracks or loose pieces appear so we can assess repairability. Try not to force resistance putting in or out, reporting modifications needed as jaw shapes naturally evolve too. Preventative support protects substantial investments in your health over the decades.
Proper maintenance nurtures both sound sleep and general oral wellness through diligent home care. Partnering in your therapy ensures derived quality of life benefits last a lifetime. Please never hesitate to consult our team optimizing your experience every step of this journey. Your health remains our top priority.
