General Cleaning Instructions

• Always clean your device in the morning immediately after having removed it from your mouth.

• After each use, rinse in cold or lukewarm, water and clean with a soft toothbrush and liquid soap. Then rinse well. Avoid hot or boiling water as it will damage the device.
  Water temperature for cleaning should be no more than 45⁰C to avoid damage. Never use hot or boiling water! Hot or boiling water will damage your device.

• For easier access to all surfaces while cleaning, you may need to remove your SomnoDent Avant strap.

• Do not use:

  • Toothpaste, as it contains abrasives, and may damage the device.

  • Mouthwash to clean the device, as doing so will cause the material in the SomnoDent to deteriorate.

  • Ultrasonic cleaning.

  • Avoid organic solvents like ethanol, acetone etc. for cleaning.

• Do not expose your strap to denture cleansers for more than 30 minutes each week. SomnoMed recommends using SomTabs for 15 minutes twice a week.
