Retainer Brite vs. Sonic Brite

#1 Post by TsuKata »

Disclaimer: Although I'd figure this is a common question, a search for this using a few queries didn't turn up any previous threads. So, if this is something that has already been asked and answered, please point me to the post, and I'll be on my merry way. :)

Now that I'm close to my de-banding, I'm looking into the retainer care stuff. It seems like there are two main cleaning options: sonicbrite and retainerbrite. First, have you heard of or do you use any other options? Second, if you've used either or both of those options, what are your opinions of them?

(I'm getting a Hawley, so I'm primarily interested in opinions relating to that type.)

Sorry I can't give experience on those particular brands, but I can share what I use on my essix retainers: generic denture effervescent tablets. My ortho said it's all I need.
