Keeping retainers, aligners, dentures, and night guards truly clean is one of the most important — yet most commonly overlooked — parts of oral hygiene. Based on years of clinical observation and the collective experience of dental care professionals, the MySmile Advanced Ultrasonic Cleaning Machine was designed to solve the hygiene challenges that traditional cleaning methods simply cannot address.
Q1. Why is cleaning retainers and oral appliances so difficult?
Retainers and aligners are worn for long hours every day and sit directly against the teeth and gums. This creates the perfect environment for buildup. In real-world clinical cases, oral appliances often accumulate:
-
Plaque
-
Tartar
-
Biofilm
-
Odor-causing bacteria
-
Yeast such as Candida albicans
Even brushing your retainer with a toothbrush or soaking it in tablets can’t reach the tiny crevices where bacteria hide. Over time, this buildup transfers right back onto the teeth and gums, which can lead to:
-
Gum inflammation
-
Bad breath
-
Recurrent plaque
-
Higher risk of gingivitis or periodontitis
This is why dental professionals emphasize the need for a more advanced, deeper-cleaning method.
Q2. Why don't brushing or cleaning tablets solve the problem?
Manual brushing often creates micro-scratches on the appliance’s surface, making it even easier for bacteria to settle and grow. Cleaning tablets help with surface sterilization but do not lift:
-
Stubborn debris
-
Sticky biofilm
-
Deep-set odor compounds
These methods are surface-level at best. What’s needed is a cleaning process that can physically break down and remove the buildup that hides in tight corners and grooves.
Q3. What makes the MySmile Advanced Ultrasonic Cleaning Machine different?
The MySmile device uses 45kHz high-frequency ultrasonic waves, which generate millions of micro-bubbles that collapse rapidly — a process called cavitation. This action lifts away:
-
Bacteria
-
Plaque
-
Stains
-
Biofilm
-
Hard-to-reach debris
Not only does this restore clarity and freshness to the appliance, but it also provides a level of cleanliness that traditional home methods cannot match.
Plus, 254nm Light-Assisted Odor Care
Four built-in 254nm lamps run throughout the cleaning cycle to help reduce odor-causing impurities — without harsh chemicals.
A safety sensor automatically turns off the light when the lid is opened and resumes when closed.
This combination of ultrasonic deep cleaning + light-assisted odor control makes the MySmile system a professional-grade solution designed for home use.
Q4. Is the MySmile cleaning process simple for daily routines?
Yes, and that’s a major reason people stick with it.
Just add water to the 304 stainless steel tank, place the appliance inside, close the lid, and choose one of two optimized modes:
Mode 1
300-second ultrasonic + light-assisted cycle
→ ideal for daily freshening
Mode 2
300-second ultrasonic + 300-second pulse cycle
→ perfect for deep odor control and stubborn buildup
The LED digital display shows remaining time clearly, making the process intuitive for all ages.
Q5. What professional-grade features stand out the most?
