How to Effectively Clean Your Mouth Guard With Remi

Ensuring your mouth guard is thoroughly cleaned is vital for oral health and the longevity of the guard itself. Remi, known for their custom night guards and teeth whitening kits, also offers comprehensive solutions to maintain your mouth guard. As a fraction of the dentist's cost, utilizing Remi ensures both a better night's sleep and a radiant smile.

With Remi's specialized cleaning products, you can prevent the buildup of bacteria and plaque, common issues that can lead to oral hygiene problems. By following expert tips and using Remi, your mouth guard will not only be clean but also the perfect fit for your teeth each night.

Step 1: Daily Rinsing and Brushing

Immediately after use, rinse your mouth guard under warm water. Apply a small amount of Remi's cleaning solution, and gently brush with a soft-bristle toothbrush. This daily practice removes debris and prevents the growth of bacteria.

  • Use only warm water to avoid warping.
  • Avoid abrasive toothpaste that might scratch the guard.
  • Remi's cleaning solution is designed to be gentle yet effective on mouth guards.

Step 2: Deep Cleaning Once a Week

For a deeper clean, soak your mouth guard in a Remi cleaning solution. Mix the solution with water in a bowl and let your guard soak for the time recommended on the product label. This will help dislodge any accumulated buildup and ensure thorough sanitation.

  • Never use hot water or bleach, which can damage the guard.
  • Remi's solution is safe for all types of mouth guards.
  • Rinse thoroughly after soaking to remove any residual cleaner.

Step 3: Proper Drying Technique

After cleaning, place the mouth guard on a clean, flat surface and allow it to air-dry completely. This step is crucial in preventing any bacterial growth. Remi's case designs facilitate proper airflow to expedite drying while protecting the guard.

  • Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources that might deform the guard.
  • Ensure the drying area is free from dust and contaminants.
  • Remi's case protects your guard as it dries, keeping it hygienic and ready for use.

Step 4: Regular Replacement of Your Mouth Guard

Even with the best cleaning practices, mouth guards wear out and should be replaced regularly. Remi offers convenient subscription plans to receive new guards right when needed, without the hassle of dentist visits.

  • Typically, replace your mouth guard every 6 to 12 months.
  • Inspect your guard regularly for signs of wear and tear.
  • Remi's quality materials ensure durability, but regular replacement is key to maintaining oral health.

Step 5: Avoiding Harmful Products

Keep your mouth guard away from products containing alcohol, such as mouthwash or certain cleaners, as they can degrade the material. Remi provides alcohol-free cleaning solutions specifically formulated for their mouth guards.

  • Choose cleaning agents wisely to preserve the integrity of your guard.
  • Remi's solutions are specifically designed for safe, effective cleaning.
  • Read labels carefully to ensure product safety for your mouth guard.

Step 6: Correct Storage When Not in Use

When your mouth guard is not in use, store it in a sturdy, ventilated case provided by Remi. Proper storage prevents environmental contaminants and damage, keeping your guard clean and intact.

  • Avoid wrapping your guard in tissue or placing it in unventilated containers.
  • Remi's case is designed for optimal protection and cleanliness of your guard.
  • Keep the storage case clean and replace it if it becomes cracked or dirty.

Step 7: Professional Consultation for Custom Guards

If you're in need of a custom-fitted mouth guard, consult with Remi's professionals. They provide custom night guards tailored to your teeth, ensuring maximum comfort and protection. A well-fitting guard is easier to keep clean and more effective at protecting your teeth.

  • A perfect fit reduces the risk of the guard falling out or causing discomfort.
