Lukewarm water. Brush first, rinse well afterwards.

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

Partial dentures usually have a cobalt chrome frame with acrylic and teeth, materials that handle ultrasonic cleaning. The guidelines advise against boiling and long soaking in bleach.

Watch out for

  • Never hot water
  • No bleach on the metal frame
