Clear Retainers In Mouthwash?

By Orthodontics Editor, on July 9th, 2009

Hello there!
I have clear retainers, kind of invisalign. I’ve been curious about this, can I put my clear retainers in mouthwash (i.e. Listerine, Scope, Etc). I use scope, I read the ingredients that is has this type of acid, but I want your opinion if this thing will eat up my clear retainers over a period of time.
Note – It’s made of a special type of plastic. According to my orthodontist.

  I don’t think it’ll destroy it, but it will dye it the color of the mouthwash over time. You could try diluting it, or just use polident solution…that won’t dye it or destroy it.

  just brush it with your toothbrush, it it discolors then get some denture tablets and soak it…… but never in hot water, it will warp
