As Good As It Gets
I have been using 3M Clear Aligners for a few years now and only just a few months ago did I finally pull the trigger to buy an ultrasonic cleaner after just using a toothbrush to clean them and I can say that my aligners are cleaner than ever. They don’t smell bad because the UV light must kill all the bacteria and there is no residue left on them after a 5-min clean with a full cleansing tablet. The only downside I’ll say is the hinge for the top has no resistance so I have to hold the device in a way that keeps the top from slamming down and getting wet when I have to pour out the used solution. Also, when pouring out, despite my various efforts to attempt to prevent the device from getting wet, the used solution always runs down the front and gets the device wet. We’ll see if this ends up causing an issue in the future.
