My 3 Cents
> 3 dayMy husband has worn a night guard for about 3 years due to bruxism (grinding his teeth). His dentist advised him to clean it once a week with dish liquid and a soft brush and on other days to rinse it before putting in the case. Over the years the guard has become stained and my husband hates the night after the soap cleaning because there is a little residual flavor :( This Polident ProGuard & Retainer cleaners were just what we were looking for - something easy to use and would hopefully clean away the stains since it advertised crystal clear and “lifts stains, removes discoloration”. Well, they are very easy to use - just unwrap a tablet, pop it in a bit of warm water and then let your guard sit in the solution for 3-5 minutes and brush it off. As far as the stain removal, it didn’t do a miracle, removing old set in stains. For that you’d need a lot of manual labor - using this solution with an electric toothbrush helps a bit.. I suspect that if you have a new appliance, it will stay clear but if you’re trying to revive a yucky discolored one you will have mixed results. Although, you do have to be careful so you don’t damage your appliance. As far as the taste, this is minty, smells good, and doesn’t leave a gross flavor after cleaning. Hopefully they also kill off any bacteria / germs as advertised. I like that this comes in individually portioned packs so they don’t react with moisture in the air. I also like how many come in a pack (120 / 4 months supply). They are quite a good value at less than $5 a month at current cost. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend use of these on aligners, retainers, Invisalign’s, etc because they are non-abrasive. You could also use them to clean out your waterpik, electric toothbrush, etc. Overall, we’re disappointed that they weren’t a miracle cure but really we shouldn’t have expected it. They do help, it’s just a shame that we didn’t use these from the start with his guard. Theyre easy to use and seem to do a good job.

> 3 dayThis review is for the Polident ProGuard Retainer Cleaning Tablets Mouth Guard Cleaner and Retainer Cleaner Tablets Pack of 3, 40 Count in case you dont know, you can use retainer and denture tabs to clean stuff around the house. I use a tab in each of my stainless Yeti cups, containers, and jugs to get the tea and coffee stains out. Just fill them with water and pop one or two in. Will take scale and crud off of a lot of things. Smells good too

> 3 dayWas looking for a cleaner for my Invisalign trays and was nervous about the tinting risk of the clear trays. Some trays have to be worn longer than others but these tablets keep them fresh and remain perfectly clear for the 2 week trays I wear. No staining and feel clean without risk of scratching while brushing as an alternative.

Greater than one weekI had a strange burning on my tongue after using this on my nightguard 1 time. I rinsed my guard really well! I tried one more night and in the morning the roof of my mouth was sore and burning in addition to my tongue. I stopped using this and had to return it. I was hopeful, but unfortunately it hurt me, I wouldnt recommend this product to people who have chemical sensitivities or allergies. I appreciate the timely refund after my return.

21-04-2025I definitely feel like this does a better job at cleaning my retainer than the denture tablets ever did. Not as good as retainer bright, but more affordable for everyday cleaning.
