When choosing cleaning products, it might be tempting to simply reach for the first option you see on the shelf of your local grocery store. But before you make your purchase, be sure to read the ingredients. Many common oral appliance cleaners contain alcohol, bleach, and hydrogen peroxide. These chemicals are obviously unsuitable for human consumption – and you might end up ingesting trace amounts left on your bite guard after the cleaning process. Over time, this can lead to the consumption of considerable levels of toxins. It's always better to opt for an all-natural solution, like the CustMbite All Natural Oral Appliance Cleaner. With active ingredients like menthol and tea tree oil, this cleaning solution reliably kills germs without exposing you to harmful chemicals. In addition, you might want to avoid homemade solutions containing vinegar or baking soda. Vinegar can stain your bite guard over time, while baking soda's abrasive nature can damage your oral appliance and break down the plastic over time.
