To clean your occlusal guard, begin by rinsing it under lukewarm water to remove any loose debris. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the material. Next, gently brush the guard using a soft-bristled toothbrush and mild soap or toothpaste. Be thorough but gentle to avoid damaging the guard. Rinse it thoroughly afterward. Additionally, following the product’s instructions, consider soaking your occlusal guard in a denture cleaner or a mixture of equal parts water and vinegar for deeper cleaning. Finally, allow the guard to air dry completely before storing it in its case to prevent bacterial growth. Regular cleaning and proper maintenance will help prolong the lifespan of your occlusal guard and ensure its effectiveness in protecting your teeth.
