Remi Frequently Asked Questions
Custom Night Guard
What are Remi Night Guards made of?
Remi Custom Night Guards are made from premium dental-grade materials. They’re completely BPA-free, phthalate-free, methyl methacrylate-free, acrylic-free, latex-free, gluten-free, and silicone-free.
Do I need top and bottom Night Guards? Can I get two of the same kind?
You only need to wear one – either a top or a bottom. Not both. We believe the best way to know your preference on top vs bottom guards is to try them both, which is why every customer gets a top and bottom guard by default. If you already know your preference, just let us know and we are happy to make you two of the same kind!
How do I take my Remi impressions?
Your at-home Remi kit will include step-by-step instructions to make the process simple. In short, we send you impression trays and putty, you spread the putty in a tray, bite down for 4-5 minutes, and then send the impressions back to us in our pre-paid box. That’s it! Here is a video!
If I am a heavy grinder, can I get a thicker night guard?
Yes, you can choose between 1mm, 1.3mm, or 2mm thickness on the Online Information Card when you scan the QR code included in your kit.
What if I make a mistake while taking my impressions?
Mistakes happen. Not to worry! We include two sets of everything just in case you need a second try. If you’re unsure, just email a photo to impressions@shopremi.com and our team will respond within 24-48 hours. If you need more supplies, just let us know.
How long does it take to get my finished Custom Night Guard after I place my order?

We can speed up the production, crafting your custom night guard or Retainer, and priority shipping to you in only 4 business days (holidays excluded) when you purchase Rush Lab Service.
How do I clean and care for my Custom Night Guard?
Maintaining good hygiene for your Custom Night Guard is crucial to preventing bacteria buildup, odors, and potential oral health issues. There are two recommended methods for cleaning your night guard effectively:
- Ultrasonic Cleaning - Using an ultrasonic cleaner, like the one offered by Remi, is the most thorough and efficient way to clean your night guard.
- Manual Cleaning - If you don't have an ultrasonic cleaner, you can manually clean your night guard by rinsing it with warm water after each use.
Regardless of the cleaning method, always allow your custom night guard to air dry completely before storing it in a clean, well-ventilated case. Proper care and regular cleaning will help extend the lifespan of your n guard and maintain optimal oral hygiene.

For optimal results, it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and complete the full treatment plan.
Are Custom Teeth Whitening Kits safe for sensitive teeth?

Ultrasonic Cleaners
What is the science in achieving deep clean?
The Ultrasonic Cleaner uses ultrasonic waves with a high frequency of 42,000 Hz to create millions of nano-sized bubbles. The bubbles expand rapidly and shrink, and release an enormous amount of energy. They are constantly scouring the plaque and are not abrasive to your oral appliance or jewelry. The process, referred to as cavitation, is a process that occurs approximately 4000 times per second, which means that every surface and gap is constantly cleaned, resulting in an extremely short but thorough cleaning.
The precise frequency needed to achieve the ideal cavitation level is determined by the volume of water contained within the device as well as the dimensions and materials of the oral device. Cleaning with ultrasonics is secure and reliable and has been extensively used in commercial, laboratory, industrial, and other areas for a long time.
Will Ultrasonic damage my oral appliance?
No, the ultrasonic cleaning process creates millions of tiny bubbles that gently clean the surface of your oral appliance or jewelry, causing no damage. The water is only gently warmed, meaning it won’t melt plastic aligners, retainers, or night guards.
Can the Ultrasonic Cleaner clean aligners, Invisalign, night guards, and retainers?
Yes! The Ultrasonic Cleaner is specially designed to clean retainers, night guards, aligners, and Invisalign trays. It removes buildup, keeps them looking like new, and helps extend their lifespan.
Can the Ultrasonic Cleaner clean jewelry?
Yes! The Ultrasonic Cleaner can make jewelry look clean and shiny again by removing dirt and buildup. However, please note that some jewelry pieces made of softer materials or with delicate settings may be more sensitive to ultrasonic cleaning. We recommend checking the user manual and following care instructions to avoid potential damage.
Can’t I just clean my oral appliance with a toothbrush?
Using a toothbrush can actually damage your oral appliance over time, since the bristles of a toothbrush can be too abrasive. On top of this, a toothbrush will never be able to provide a thorough clean.
How often should I use the Ultrasonic Cleaner to clean my appliance?
This will depend on the oral device you’re cleaning. We recommend asking your dentist or orthodontist for advice on how often you should clean your oral appliance.
Is the Ultrasonic Cleaner HSA/FSA eligible?
No, the Ultrasonic Cleaner is not HSA/FSA eligible.
Cordless Water Flosser
What is a Remi Cordless Water Flosser?
Remi Cordless Water Flosser is a handheld dental cleaning device that uses a stream of pulsating water to remove plaque, food particles, and bacteria from between teeth and below the gumline. It’s a convenient alternative to traditional string floss, especially for on-the-go use.
Can a Cordless Water Flosser remove tartar?
While a Cordless Water Flosser is excellent for removing plaque and food particles, tartar that has hardened on the teeth can only be removed by a dental professional during a cleaning.

Using a Cordless Water Flosser can enhance oral health by:
Effectively cleaning between teeth and along the gumline

- Improving breath freshness by removing trapped food particles
How often should I charge my Remi Cordless Water Flosser?
The frequency of charging will depend on the model and battery life. Typically, a fully charged Cordless Water Flosser can last for several weeks with regular use before needing to be recharged.
How do I maintain and clean my Remi Cordless Water Flosser?
To maintain your Remi Cordless Water Flosser, empty the water reservoir after each use and periodically clean the device according to the instructions. This may include running a vinegar solution through the flosser to prevent mineral buildup.
Can a Remi Cordless Water Flosser replace traditional flossing?
While Remi’s Cordless Water Flosser is an effective tool for cleaning between teeth, it’s best used in conjunction with traditional flossing, especially for removing plaque that is tightly adhered to the tooth surface.
