Your head gear will eventually become, to be quite blunt, caked in dried spit and plaque. When it gets to this point, you will probably not want to be putting it back in your mouth anytime soon. This calls for a thorough cleansing.
One way to clean your head gear is to brush it using you’re toothbrush and toothpaste and brush it like you would your teeth. Or if it still smells funky, you can soak it in mouthwash. Just leave it in for about 5 minutes and then brush it thoroughly. Doing this should clean up your headgear nicely and make it clean!
We recommend you brush your headgear every couple of days so it doesn’t build up. Plus, when you think about it, if there is still plaque on your headgear then it is similar to not brushing your teeth. The plaque sits in your mouth overnight (or however long you wear your head gear) and will cause bad breath /or cavities.
Keeping your head gear clean will also make it less of a big deal to wear, after all no one wants to put a dirty piece of metal into their mouth for hours on end!
