Cleaning and storage

The trainer goes in the mouth every day, so keeping it clean matters. The routine takes about a minute a day.

After each use

• Rinse it with room-temperature water after taking it out.
• Brush lightly with a soft toothbrush, or just rub it clean with your hands.
• No cleaning products are needed.
• Put it in its case to air-dry.

Please don’t

• Use hot water to rinse it or soak it in hot water.
• Leave it in the sun, in a car, or near a heater.

Storage

• Always keep it in its own case. Wrapped in a tissue, it is easily thrown away by mistake.
• Keep the case somewhere airy and dry, not damp.
• Keep it out of reach of family members and pets.
• Take the case with you when you go out, rather than putting the trainer loose in a pocket.
• Let your child decorate the case themselves — they’re less likely to forget it and take better care of it (case column).

When to see your clinician

If the trainer becomes misshapen, cracked or has a hole, please see your clinician.
