Maintenance & Cleaning for Aligners, Retainers and Oral Appliances
Cleaning and care for aligners, retainers and removable dental appliances
Removable dental appliances are often worn every day or throughout the night. During use, they regularly come into contact with saliva, deposits and other residues. A consistent cleaning routine helps keep your dental appliance clean and comfortable to use.
In this category, you will find products for different care requirements: from a simple gel for daily cleaning to the complete Ecosym Care System with daily care, weekly deep cleaning and specially designed accessories.
For straightforward daily cleaning, you can use Fresh & Clean. Those looking for a complete daily and weekly care routine can choose Ecosym and the coordinated products of The Adams Method.

Which dental appliances are these cleaning products suitable for?
Depending on the individual manufacturer’s instructions, the products in this category are suitable for many types of removable dental appliances and orthodontic devices.
- clear aligners;
- removable retainers;
- Essix retainers;
- anti-snoring mouthpieces;
- night guards and bite guards;
- custom night guards;
- bleaching trays;
- teeth-whitening trays;
- sports mouthguards;
- other suitable removable plastic dental appliances.
Always follow the cleaning and care instructions supplied by the manufacturer of your dental appliance. Special materials, metal components or individually manufactured appliances may require a different cleaning method.

Why is regular cleaning important?
A dental appliance is worn directly inside the mouth for many hours. As a result, saliva residue and deposits can collect on the inner and outer surfaces, around the edges and inside small recesses.
Rinsing the appliance briefly with water removes loose residue, but it does not replace targeted cleaning. A fixed care routine makes it easier to clean the appliance consistently instead of waiting until visible deposits or unpleasant odours have already developed.
A good cleaning routine consists of clear, repeatable steps:
- rinse the appliance with lukewarm water after use;
- clean it daily with a suitable cleaning product;
- pay attention to the inner surfaces, outer surfaces, edges and recesses;
- rinse the appliance thoroughly with clean water;
- perform an additional weekly deep clean when required;
- keep the brush, cleaning box and storage case clean.
Two care options: simple daily cleaning or a complete care system
Not every user needs the same solution. We therefore distinguish between straightforward daily cleaning and a complete daily and weekly care routine.
Fresh & Clean – simple daily cleaning
Fresh & Clean is intended for users who are primarily looking for a practical cleaning gel for the daily care of their dental appliance. The product is used with a suitable brush and is then rinsed off thoroughly.
Fresh & Clean is therefore an accessible solution for a simple daily cleaning routine.
Ecosym – the complete Care System
Ecosym goes beyond daily cleaning alone. The Ecosym Care System combines several products, each with its own clearly defined purpose:
- Ecosym Daily Gel for daily cleaning;
- Ecosym Appliance Brush for mechanical cleaning;
- Ecosym Forte Weekly Cleaner for weekly deep cleaning;
- Ecosym Cleaning Box for soaking the appliance;
- Ecosym Professional Care Set as a complete all-in-one solution.
This coordinated cleaning routine is called The Adams Method.
The Adams Method – daily and weekly care

The Adams Method clearly separates normal daily cleaning from additional weekly deep cleaning. Each product has a specific role, making the complete care routine easier to incorporate into everyday life.
1. Daily Care
Rinse the dental appliance with lukewarm water after use. Then use Ecosym Daily Gel together with the Ecosym Appliance Brush to clean the inner surfaces, outer surfaces, edges and recesses.
2. Gentle Brushing
The larger brush head of the Ecosym Appliance Brush is suitable for cleaning larger surfaces. The smaller brush head helps clean edges, openings, recesses and other areas that are more difficult to reach.
3. Weekly Deep Clean
Once a week, complement the daily cleaning routine with Ecosym Forte Weekly Cleaner. Soak the dental appliance in the cleaning solution according to the instructions for use.
4. Soak in the Cleaning Box
The Ecosym Cleaning Box makes it easier to submerge the dental appliance completely, remove it from the cleaning solution and rinse it afterwards. The removable inner basket supports convenient and hygienic handling.
5. Complete Care System
Users who want all components in one package can choose the Ecosym Professional Care Set. It contains Ecosym Daily Gel, Ecosym Forte Weekly Cleaner, the Ecosym Appliance Brush, the Ecosym Cleaning Box and a practical storage case.
