OrVance Whitepaper Examines Two-Cleanings-Per-Week Approach to Retainer Care

Grand Rapids, Michigan—A new two-page whitepaper examines a retainer cleaner designed to require only two cleanings per week and compares it with commonly used products for retainers and aligners.

The paper notes that many products marketed as retainer cleaners are also indicated for dentures and may be too harsh for orthodontic thermoplastic materials. Because retainers and aligners are not worn while eating, the whitepaper suggests a gentler cleaning approach may be sufficient.

According to the analysis, daily brushing under water without toothpaste remains the most widely recommended practice. The cleaner evaluated in the whitepaper is intended to supplement brushing with two weekly tablet cleanings, reducing product use while maintaining effectiveness.

The whitepaper also compares cost and convenience, reporting potential savings for both patients and practices.
