Proper care and maintenance of your night guard are essential to ensure its longevity and effectiveness. To clean it, rinse your night guard with warm water every morning, and gently brush it using a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Avoid using hot water or harsh chemicals, as these can warp or damage the plastic.
Store your night guard in a ventilated container when not in use to keep it fresh and free from odors. It's also important to regularly check for any signs of wear or damage, and to bring it with you to your dental appointments so we can assess its condition and make recommendations for replacement if necessary.
