WHY USING A BITE GUARD IS IMPORTANT

A reliable, comfortable bite guard from CustMbite is an affordable choice – but it's still an investment. This is why it's always best to keep your bite guard in the best possible condition. Properly maintain your bite guard, and it can last you for many years. Forget about basic cleaning steps, and you may have to replace your bite guard much earlier than expected. Fortunately, cleaning your bite guard doesn't have to be a time-consuming chore. Learning how to clean a bite guard is easy – especially if you use the right cleaning products.

CustMbite doesn't just produce innovative, effective oral appliances like the Hard Surface Nightguard – it also provides you with everything you need to clean your new bite guard in a safe, convenient manner. The CustMbite All Natural Oral Appliance Cleaner comes in a handy spray bottle and is free from harsh chemicals, allowing you to clean your bite guard in the best possible way.

WHICH PRODUCTS SHOULD I CLEAN?

If you're trying to address snoring with a product like the CustMbite Snoring System, you need to clean it regularly. These devices may suffer damage if not properly maintained, which affect the mouthguard's ability to address snoring with its cleverly-designed tori system.

You might also need to clean your CustMbite Hard Surface Nightguard, which relies on a patented hard surface layer to protect your teeth against the effects of Bruxism. The same goes for the CustMbite Nightguard, which uses a flexible Vistamaxx material to protect your teeth in a comfortable, flexible manner.

WHY DO I HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO CLEAN A BITE GUARD?

If you fail to properly maintain your bite guard, you may struggle with significant issues. For starters, germ buildup can be a health concern – especially in the modern era. These germs can easily spread viruses into your mouth, causing unnecessary issues both in regards to dental health and overall health.

Secondly, residue and buildup can lead to discoloration over time. This makes bite guards unsightly and somewhat gross – making you more reluctant to actually use them and enjoy their benefits. Residue buildup may also break down the mouthguard over time, lowering its lifespan. While CustMbite Nightguards are reliably made to last in the United States, you should still maintain them properly to get the most out of these oral appliances. Flexible, exceedingly comfortable Vistamaxx material will continue to perform well for the foreseeable future if you treat your bite guard well.

Fortunately, proper bite guard maintenance is hardly a chore – especially if you're using a convenient solution like the CustMBite All Natural Oral Appliance Cleaner. With just a few bursts, this spray-bottle system can kill 99% of all germs on the surface of your bite guard.

WHAT CLEANING PRODUCTS SHOULD I AVOID?

When choosing cleaning products, it might be tempting to simply reach for the first option you see on the shelf of your local grocery store. But before you make your purchase, be sure to read the ingredients. Many common oral appliance cleaners contain alcohol, bleach, and hydrogen peroxide. These chemicals are obviously unsuitable for human consumption – and you might end up ingesting trace amounts left on your bite guard after the cleaning process. Over time, this can lead to the consumption of considerable levels of toxins.

It's always better to opt for an all-natural solution, like the CustMbite All Natural Oral Appliance Cleaner. With active ingredients like menthol and tea tree oil, this cleaning solution reliably kills germs without exposing you to harmful chemicals.

 

In addition, you might want to avoid homemade solutions containing vinegar or baking soda. Vinegar can stain your bite guard over time, while baking soda's abrasive nature can damage your oral appliance and break down the plastic over time.
