How do I get the stains off of my night mouth gaurd after using the tablet in the sonic cleaner? It's clean but stains won't come off even after using a toothbursh on it. Anyone have any ideas?

I wear an upper and lower night guard, to protect against my grinding my molars during sleep; I've used Retainer Brite on my clear-colored guards, and have never experienced any staining -- but that could be because I immerse my guards into an ordinary kitchen cup with tablet dissolved in warm water. My dental office staff advised me that once-a-week tablet cleaning is sufficient; on all other days, I gently clean both guards with a soft tooth brush and regular-old Colgate (which is the least abrasive toothpaste). I don't own the Sonic Cleaner, although Amazon had asked me (in an email) to respond to your question.

It just comes with what you can see. One part that lifts out to put things in and then the little separate thing with holes in it you see in the picture. If it is too loud you can make sure the inside compartment is in position good. Push it down a bit and then it should't be loud anymore. That is something I learned that can affect the sound of the unit. It is a great product for me to clean my dental night guards.

I only got 1 of the trays with mine instead of the 2 it should have come with. So I rubbed it on my teeth and then stuck the blue light in. I could feel the light literally pulsing in my teeth. I couldn't use the trays, but it is my understanding that you are supposed to microwave them for 15 seconds, then put in your mouth and it will form to your teeth, then, put liquid on it then stick in your mouth. I would do all that though if I was you. It really does whiten, but harder stains will stay, and unfortunately becoe more noticable.

First thought is out of charge. I charge mine overnight every Saturday so I do not forget. If unit is fully charged - still doesn't work - may be defective - I would return for exchange. 2nd thought is you are using mouthwash mixed with water? Instructions state unit will be damaged if you do not use plain water. Was difficult for me to get used to.

No, I'm sorry I can not help. As a matter of fact, I am having the same problem. I have tried various cleaners without any luck. Finally, I just stopped scrubbing on it. I basically just gave up. Any suggestions from others would be greatly appreciated.

I only use them after brushing, and only use a half a tablet, but never have any problem with it highlighting missed areas - in my case, along the gumline.

I have used a Phillips Sonicare for years and years and think it is great! A couple of years I "updated" since the one I had was several years old. I think the unit is overall improved. I would guess the brush heads would have improved also. I don't know if they are the only heads that will fit on the Diamond Clean. I've just always gotten the head that matched my unit.

Brian, I think any whitening action would be accomplished by the toothpaste and/or mouthwash you use. The brushing action of the Sonicare is aggressive enough that it should remove surface stains but YMMV :).

Try vinegar. It works well. A soft tooth brush and vinegar and rinse. Hope that helps.

All I did was used alcohol wipes to clean surface... That's it. Then used a credit card to get rid of bubbles

I have the Invisalign retainers. When they stain I have found I need to use the Invisalign crystals several days in a row (available from your dentist). If you do not have Invisalign, my recommendation would be to ask your dentist what would work best for your mouthguard. In my experience the Retainer Brite is great to keep retainers "fresh", but they do not really work very well for removing stains. Hope this helps.

What I have found that really seems to work is fill the container with 195 degree water (I have a water warmer which does not "burn" the leaves like boiling water would) and drop in an Efferdent tablet (the denture cleaner stuff). Let it sit over night - and rinse the next morning. You would think the container was brand new (I do use a old toothbrush on the removable screen). We have had ours since 2009 and it still works great. We make about 10-20 cups of tea a day with it.

Hi. Unfortunately, I am not able to help you with your question as this is our first Kids Sonicare toothbrush. Good luck!

Honestly, the sonic works better than the cheaper versions. Batteries don't last long enough on the cheap version. Teethdon't seem to be as clean.

I've wondered this also. I haven't tried cleaning tablets in mine but I would think not since they bubble up and it would probably make a mess if not do damage to the machine.

It was a gift for a friend's son and I told them to do what I do with my thermos. Go to the store and purchase some inexpensive denture cleaning tablets. Throw a couple in the bottle over night filled with water, then wash with warm water and soap the next day. You could also use a drop of bleach in water. I keep a baby bottle/glass brush on hand if I have something like juice which is sticky and I want to be a bit more thorough. If you feel there is an after taste issue, you can also soak over night once a week with a teaspoon of baking soda in it. Several options for you, I hope that help.
