Retainers, night guards . . . it’s all taboo. Those of Us who suffered through years of braces know how important it is to follow our orthodontist’s orders, but dealing with a retainer can be off-putting, to say the least. It always ends up discolored, funky-smelling and covered in bacteria, no matter how hard we scrub or how often we soak it in denture cleaner.
Most dentist offices have retainer cleaners nowadays, but that doesn’t mean you should wait until your bi-yearly visit to give your retainer or night guard a deep clean. This ‘magic’ clinical-grade device uses dual-action Steribrite technology to destroy 99.9% of bacteria on dental devices while clearing cloudiness and removing odor. High-frequency ultrasonic waves fuel the deep cleaning process while UV-C light kills bacteria, viruses and pathogens, making this device a must-have for anyone serious about their health.
The ultrasonic waves work to dislodge dirt and grime, all without damaging your dental appliance. In other words, it gently lifts those cloudy spots you thought were permanent. UV-C light is the ultimate disinfectant, sterilizing surfaces and killing the harmful microscopic bugs that freeload on your retainer. But don’t worry — UV-C doesn’t harm your appliance, either!
In three to five minutes, your retainer, night guard, dentures, toothbrush heads or aligner will be good as new — no scrubbing involved. There are two modes, one for normal cleaning and one for deep cleaning, taking three and five minutes, respectively; no matter which mode you choose, your appliance is guaranteed to come out sparkling clean. This device is truly one of a kind!
To use, simply fill the Sonic Pro with cold water, add a Sonic Dental Cleaning Tablet and put your retainer in the water. Then, choose between the three and five-minute cleaning cycle options and let the magic happen! When the device is finished, you’ll want to rinse your retainer under cold water to reveal your clean, stain-free retainer (or night guard . . . or dentures).
The only difference between the Sonic Pro and Sonic Pro Bundle is the number of cleaning tablets. If you want to clean your appliance(s) frequently, we recommend the bundle, which includes 30 tablets. For all other needs, the six-tablet Sonic Pro will do.
Reviewers and dentists alike can’t get enough of this device, noting how small, portable, easy-to-use and effective it is. “Tried one out before purchasing them for my patients! This thing actually works,” one dentist wrote. “It’s kind of gross to think of how we cleaned before this. Also it’s aesthetically pleasing on a counter top.”
