How did we test the Remi Ultrasonic Cleaner?
Cleaning your oral appliance effectively and safely with the Remi Ultrasonic Cleaner is our top priority. At Remi, we rigorously tested over 50 different oral appliance variations using the following 3-step process:
-
Cleaning Exposure: We ran each oral appliance variant through 30 cleaning cycles in the Remi Ultrasonic Cleaner.
-
Safety Assessment: Using advanced 3D scanning technology, our team meticulously checked each appliance for superficial damage, microscopic abrasions, and any changes to shape or volume.
-
Long-Term Assessment: We followed up with the users of each appliance for up to 3 months to ensure their oral appliances continued to function as expected.
Can the Remi Ultrasonic Cleaner clean my aligner?
Aligners, including those from Invisalign, Byte, and Smile Direct Club, can be safely and effectively cleaned with the Remi Ultrasonic Cleaner.
Most clear aligners are crafted from medical-grade polyurethane resins, which can be prone to damage from traditional cleaning methods like brushing. Since the Remi Ultrasonic Cleaner avoids physical scrubbing, it eliminates the risk of micro-abrasions or deformities in aligners. The SmartTrack material used in Invisalign aligners is particularly well-suited to ultrasonic cleaning, making it a safe and efficient choice.
Can the Remi Ultrasonic Cleaner clean my retainer?
Retainers, including Hawley, Essix, and Vivera retainers, can be safely and effectively cleaned with the Remi Ultrasonic Cleaner.
-
Hawley Retainers (Wire and Acrylic): Cleaning Hawley retainers with the Remi Ultrasonic Cleaner is gentler and more effective than brushing. Brushing can scratch the acrylic surface or bend the delicate metal components, creating spots for bacterial buildup. Ultrasonic cleaning preserves the retainer’s structure while ensuring a thorough clean.
-
Clear Plastic Retainers (e.g., Essix, Vivera): Ultrasonic cleaning effectively removes debris and bacteria from clear plastic retainers without causing scratches that could compromise their transparency or harbor bacteria. This method is far safer than traditional brushing.

-
Immediate Dentures: Ultrasonic cleaning is particularly suitable for immediate dentures, which are often exposed to surgical residues post-extraction. It provides a safe, thorough clean without requiring abrasive scrubbing.
-
Partial Dentures: Partial dentures benefit greatly from ultrasonic cleaning as it prevents scratches that can harbor bacteria. The Remi Ultrasonic Cleaner ensures all surfaces are free from buildup and bacteria.
Can the Remi Ultrasonic Cleaner clean my mouthguard?
Mouthguards, including those made by brands like Opro and Safejawz, can be safely and effectively cleaned with the Remi Ultrasonic Cleaner.
