Cleaning
CAUTION
• Before choosing an antibacterial denture cleanser, you should verify
that you are not allergic to any of its ingredients. Always follow the
instructions provided with it.
• Do not put the Narval appliance in water warmer than 45°C/113°F .
• Do not use toothpaste or mouthwash to clean your Narval appliance.
• Do not use chlorine based products, bleach, acetic acid, household
cleaning products or alcoholic solutions to clean your Narval appliance.
After each time you use the device:
1. Remove the Narval appliance from your mouth and immerse in
lukewarm drinking quality water (e.g. in a clean glass or container).
2. Clean the Narval appliance with a denture brush, making sure to
brush the inside surface of the Narval appliance for at least 1 minute.
A denture brush typically offers two different brush heads. The smaller
brush with angled bristles allows for cleaning the inner surfaces of the
Narval appliance, while the larger brush allows for cleaning the outer
surfaces.
3. Rinse well with clean, lukewarm drinking quality water.
4. Carefully inspect the Narval appliance to confirm it is visibly clean (e.g.
no visible particles remaining on the device). If necessary, clean the
device again, repeating steps 1 through 4.
5. Once clean, dry the Narval appliance with a clean tissue or towel and
place it back in its storage box.
Twice a week, clean your Narval appliance more thoroughly, using an
antibacterial denture cleanser designed for orthodontic appliances:
1. Read the instructions of the antibacterial denture cleanser carefully
before use.
2. Clean your Narval appliance following the instructions provided by the
cleanser manufacturer.
3. Rinse the Narval appliance well with clean, drinking quality water.
4. Dry the Narval appliance with a clean tissue or towel and place it back
in its storage box.
Over time the splints of your Narval appliance might change colour. This
may be due to the acidity of your saliva and how well you take care of your
Narval appliance. This will not affect its performance.
