i just got my retainer off and i need to learn how to get it cleaned, help?!
Question:
it has a nasty taste and i need to get that plastic/food taste off.
Answers:
Use your toothbrush and toothpaste to brush it. You might also want to use baking soda and your toothbrush, that should get that gross taste out. If all else fails, rinse it in mouthwash.

Well when you got it, the dental assistant at the othotics office told you how. you can call and ask. probably denture cleaner will work.
Either soak it with mouthwash or brush it with your toothbrust and toothpaste

been there done that:)
Dont use mouthwash that wears the coating off of it and makes it rough on your tounger. What I did when I had one is I soaked in in denture cleaner over night at most 2 times a week, you can brush it but dont scrub it long or hard, that also takes off the coating as well.

When you go for a regular cleaning at the dentist bring your retainer with you. they can also clean it in solution with their cleaning unit
go to www.dentakit.com they sell mint flavored retainer cleaner. you just put ur retainer in it for 15 minutes and all is well. :)
