Updated from your answers.

How to do it

Time
6 min
Water
Lukewarm, 35 °C at most – never hot

Rinse first, run 6 minutes, brush lightly and let it air-dry.

With these answers we do not recommend the ultrasonic cleaner, so there is no how-to.

Pick your cleaner to see if it fits, which setting to use and what its manual says.

Why

Night guards are hard acrylic or softer plastic that withstands lukewarm water. Heat can deform them so that they no longer fit.

Watch out for

  • Never hot water
  • Soft guards can turn cloudy over time – that is normal
