Fab Cleaning Brush!
"Great little brush, having one side with a smaller ball shape end also means it gets into the tiniest parts to clean. The cardboard store tube is sturdy, strong and planet friendly too."

Fits Every Groove
"This brush fitted well and was effective in cleaning my aligners. The small end fitted well in the grooves and the brush in general, soft enough not to scratch. Easy to transport when out and about."

The Blakmint Retainer Brush is a dual head cleaning brush made for retainers, clear aligners, Invisalign® trays, night guards and other removable dental appliances. The flat head cleans larger surfaces and the round head reaches the grooves and edges that a normal toothbrush can miss.
How do I clean my retainer with a brush?
Gently brush your retainer with lukewarm water, paying attention to the grooves and edges. Then soak it in Blakmint Liquid Retainer Cleaner and rinse before wearing. Brushing before soaking helps lift plaque and daily build up so the cleaner can work across the whole surface.
Can I just use my normal toothbrush to clean my retainer?
A standard toothbrush is not shaped for the small grooves, edges and curves of a retainer or aligner. The two brush heads on this retainer cleaning brush are designed to reach those areas, and the compact size gives you better control and precision.
Is the retainer brush suitable for clear aligners and Invisalign®?
Yes. It is suitable for retainers, clear aligners, Invisalign® trays, clip in veneers, night guards, sports mouthguards, snore guards and braces.
What colours does the Retainer Brush come in?
The Retainer Brush is available in Black and Mint. Both colours have the same size, design and dual head bristles, so choose whichever you prefer.
Is the retainer brush easy to travel with?
Yes. It is supplied in a protective eco friendly tube that is compact and lightweight, so it slips easily into a handbag, gym bag or travel kit for cleaning your retainer on the go.
What should I use with the brush to keep my retainer clean?
For the best daily routine, pair the brush with Blakmint Liquid Retainer and Denture Cleaner, our persulfate free cleaning solution, and the U shaped retainer case which doubles as a cleaning bath. The Everyday Kit and the Full Kit both include the brush.

Great product
I've been using this brush for over a year to clean my Invisalign aligners and it's been great. It lets you clean areas that a regular toothbrush won't reach. Fairly impressed by the quality as well as after over a thousand uses it's still in great shape. I just ordered a second one to keep in the bathroom upstairs. Much recommended.

Useful aligner cleaning brush
This brush fitted well and was effective in cleaning my aligners. The small end fitted well in the grooves and the brush in general, soft enough not to scratch. Was also easy to transport when out and about. Would highly recommend.

Excellent quality, softer bristles that don't scratch aligners!
I don’t normally write reviews but this aligner brush is exactly what I’ve been searching for. The bristles do not lack quality at all, this brush can’t be compared to a toothbrush as it’s not for teeth it’s for aligners so the bristles are softer. It’s a perfect aligner cleaner, gets into all the grooves a toothbrush wouldn’t leaving them nice and clean. I like the fact I can take it to work in the portable tube with my retainer case and denture cleaning tablets for when I’m working late to give them a good clean. I can see better plaque remover from trays now.
I’m buying another one for my son for his mouthguard in black.
Looking back, I can’t believe I’ve been using a toothbrush all this time. This little brush makes you realise it’s just not fit for purpose.

Perfect retainer cleaner!
Wish I had one sooner on my teeth straightening journey. My retainers are so much more cleaner. It’s the perfect Invisalign accessory and the tube is a brilliant idea as you can take it anywhere with you. You can really see the difference using this to a normal toothbrush, great little invention and well worth the money.

Storage tube is cardboard!
Thought this would be a good idea for travel since the cleaning brush comes in a handy storage tube. The videos show the case standing on the side of a basin but I didn't realise it would be made from cardboard. This is just going to go soggy and is not going to last! I've yet to use the brush - I like the idea it is a smaller head and can see that this may work well but really disappointed abut the case.

Great while it lasted!
The bottom circular brush has been really helpful in cleaning awkward parts of a retainer but has broken off after a little less than 3 months. Not sure what kind of longevity this product is meant to have. Shame considering the price point for a toothbrush. Will look into alternatives for now.

Avoid! It Scratches the retainers
Awful. The brush does scratch the retainers contrarily to what people say.
Better to stick to some curaprox soft toothbrushes to clean them.

This is a nifty little device for really giving an Invisalign retainer a thorough clean each time it's removed. My only surprise is that the orthodontist didn't include this brush in the pack with which I was supplied. The brush is well worth the price in my opinion. It looks smart and was very well packaged; clearly brand new. Overall, I'm delighted with this purchase and recommend the product for anyone with an Invisalign retainer, or two, struggling to keep them really clean every day.

Arrived in very good time. I love the little brush but it’s the other end that’s so good. I was sceptical when purchasing as it’s not cheap but it is good. My only negative is when both ends are wet, how to store? It does come with a storage tube but this is cardboard so would go soggy if the wet brush was stored in it. I’ve ended up lying it across a glass like container. All in all a great little brush which I’ll definitely use daily. A** company.

The brush is good, does the job, but the holder is made of cardboard which makes it useless as it gets wet.
