Retainer & Mouth Guard Cleaner Tablets – Mint Flavor Retainer Cleaner Tablets & Invisalign Cleaner -Denture Cleaning Tablets, Denture Cleaner, Aligners, Night Guard – Oral… by Avistar

You get a 5 month supply in one box, which is awesome because who wants to buy tablets every month! Besides leaving your dentures, retainers and other mouths additives super clean without a film or dirty residue, they work great at removing coffee stains and wine stains. I enjoy that these tablets don’t leave a flavor in my mouth like other tablets tend to do! This product DOES NOT eat away my aligners or corrode them in any way.

One thing to note is that the instructions say the blue solution will turn clear when the appliance is clean but what they actually mean is the bubbles that form while the tablet is dissolving will disappear, the water will always be blue.

I have Invisalign and this product has been a godsend. I first started using the ones that come with the actual brand. (They provide with each shipment) after purchasing this product there was no need to go back. My liners are sparkling clean! The tablets are small white and blue. Travelability: They are small enough to fit into your bag if you are going to travel to a hotel or stay somewhere other than your home. They last a while since a there’s so many in the box. Design the foil is what you would typically see in any of these products.

I am ~3 months into my Invisalign journey, and retainer cleaning tablets are an essential part of my routine. I go a little overboard, and try and soak my retainers 2-3 times a day (every time I take them out eat at home/work/school). So I have been going through retainer cleaning tablets quickly!

Based on reviews, I originally opted for the M3 cleaner that has very positive reviews (more than the invisalign brand), and I LOVED them and even re-ordered them once (and loved them!). Last week I looked to order another box of the M3 cleaning tablets and the price has gone up and there were quite a few *recent* posts about how the formula (including ingredient list) changed. Searching around amazon, I found this more-affordable product, and noticed that the internal packaging looked * identical * to the M3 packaging, and the ingredient list is the same as the old M3 formula list. So I took a chance and bought these! Holding the tablets and packaging side-by-side, I can’t tell the difference. The “mint” smell is a little different, but its equally pleasant (and I wash as much of it off before putting it in my mouth anyway!)
They function equally as well as the M3 brand, but I save ~6 bucks and got an additional 60? cleaning tablets!

In the future, I will continue to just order the more cost effective option.

I should note that the package arrived one day later than estimated, but that is not the fault of the product (so I did not include this in the rating). But I learned my lesson – I won’t wait until Im down to the last 6 tablets to order refills!

Update in 2020: This has been my Go-To for the past year, and it has always been the cheapest (or one of the cheapest) per tablet option every time I have searched for it! Tip: Not revolutionary, but I started cutting the box across the middle and it serves as a holder/dispenser.

I’ve only tried 2 cleanings, but the dark stain on my flexible night guard appliance still remains. Perhaps I should try an 12 hour soak, since overnight soak defeats the purpose of a “night guard”
