Soak Retainer in Hydrogen Peroxide
"On soaking the retainer with hydrogen peroxide"
Recently, when it comes to the cleaning method of the retainer, there is a discussion about soaking it with hydrogen peroxide. However, whether this is feasible or not should be reviewed in detail.
With hydrogen peroxide, it has strong oxidation and can be sterilized and disinfected, which is also beneficial. Soaking the retainer with it may remove dirt from it, kill all kinds of germs, and make the retainer clean.
However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. The strong oxidation of hydrogen peroxide may damage the material of the retainer. The retainer is mostly made of special plastics. After soaking in hydrogen peroxide for a long time, it may cause aging and deformation of the material, reduce its service life, and affect its fixation effect on teeth.
Therefore, if you want to soak the holder with hydrogen peroxide, you must be careful. Check the material description of the holder carefully first. If it is allowed to be cleaned with hydrogen peroxide, you should also control the soaking time and the concentration of hydrogen peroxide. Generally speaking, the concentration should be low, and the soaking time should not be long. Then rinse thoroughly with water to ensure that the holder is not damaged and can achieve the purpose of cleaning.
The way to do things should not be rash. It is appropriate to weigh the pros and cons and deal with them cautiously.
