Tips to cleaning and maintaining your Snap-On Smile:
- Always remove the appliance using both hands, gently rocking it side to side.
- Never squeeze or flex the appliance.
- Do not sleep with the appliance unless your dentist instructs you to use it as a night brux guard or orthodontic retainer.
- Remove and rinse the appliance after meals, then use Snap-On Smile® Anti-Bacterial Gel to help prevent tooth decay and freshen breath. Apply a small bead of gel into the individual tooth compartments of your Snap-On Smile® appliance before re-inserting into mouth.
- Gently brush the inner parts of the appliance twice a day using a soft toothbrush. Do not use regular toothpaste as it can dull the finish. Use plain water instead.
- To use the cleaning powder, pour half a capful of powder into a half cup of cool water. The water should cover the appliance. Soak appliance in the mixture for 15 minutes. Then remove the appliance and rinse thoroughly under running water. If there is remaining residue, brush the inside of the appliance lightly with a soft toothbrush and water.
- Always store your appliance in the Snap-On Smile® carrying case to protect it when not in use.
