Quick Start: Your 60-Second Daily Routine

  1. Rinse aligners with cool water when you remove them.
  2. Brush teeth (and lightly brush aligners with a soft brush—no toothpaste).

  4. Rinse with cool water and pop them back in.

Why Cleaning Smile White Aligners Matters

  • Fresh breath: removes odour-causing buildup.
  • Crystal-clear look: prevents yellowing and haze.

How to Clean Smile White Aligners with Dentasheen

  1. Fill a clean cup with warm, not hot water.
  2. Drop in one Dentasheen tablet and let it dissolve.
  3. Soak aligners for about 15 minutes while you eat or brush.
  4. Rinse thoroughly with cool water and reinsert.

Tip: Do this once a day. Between soaks, a quick rinse and soft-brush swish keeps trays clear.

Troubleshooting: Odour, Cloudiness, or Stains

  • Lingering odour? Increase soak time slightly and clean your case. Brush tongue and floss nightly.
  • Cloudy or scratched? Stop using toothpaste/abrasives; switch to daily Dentasheen soaks.
  • Tea/coffee stains? Rinse trays before reinserting; use Dentasheen daily to lift surface discolouration.

Travel & On-the-Go Care

  • Pack a small case, soft brush, and a few Dentasheen tablets in a zip bag.
