Ranking of the best denture containers for 2020

Take care of your teeth when you are young! If all people followed this proverb, this would allow them to maintain oral health and quality of life for many years. Unfortunately, our mentality, unlike the American one, does not imply careful dental care, as a result of which, already in middle age, many are faced with the need to install dentures in order to fully eat.

Caring for such a structure is even more difficult than for the oral cavity. It should also be cleaned at least twice a day, and after each meal, remove and rinse under running water. This is necessary in order to avoid the accumulation of pathogens between the gum and the apparatus, which can lead to inflammation.

Wearing dental structures around the clock is not recommended, as it causes discomfort and causes minor damage to the gums. In order for a denture to serve for a long time, it must be kept clean. For storage of removable structures, it is recommended to use special containers that allow them to be kept absolutely clean and protect from mechanical damage and contamination from the external environment.

Storage rules for artificial teeth

Previously, many users of removable devices kept them in a glass of plain water. This is due to the fact that the structure was made of plastic compound, which deteriorated from drying out in air.

Modern orthodontic appliances do not have this disadvantage and therefore do not require constant moisture. Many users, on the advice of a dentist, wear them at first without taking off, in order to get used to it faster. About a month after the first installation, you can remove the device overnight.

Before putting it into storage, you should mechanically clean the device from food residues and other contaminants and rinse it in running water. If it is assumed that the structure is removed for a short period of time, you can simply wrap it in a napkin, or put it in a special case. If long-term storage is required, a special liquid is poured into the container, which not only disinfects the device, but also helps to preserve its consumer properties.

Some artificial teeth can be stored without liquid for a long time, it is enough just to tightly close the lid of the case in order to prevent contamination from the external environment.

Each user of removable teeth should remember that they cannot be stored in hot (because of this, they may lose their original shape, deform) or chlorinated water (this applies, mainly, to cermets, which are subject to darkening when interacting with chlorine).

Purpose, functionality, types and characteristics, criteria for choosing a container for dental structures

Dental constructions containers are a case made of composite materials (most often polypropylene). They are designed to perform the following functions:

• Disinfection of the prosthetic structure - a special composition is poured into the container, which kills pathogenic bacteria, dissolves food debris and dirt from the surface of the device. This product is available in the form of a special liquid or powder (tablets) that dissolve in water;
• Ensuring the safety of the structure - due to the correct positioning of the device in the case, it is protected from accidental damage. At the same time, it is located in such a way that it is convenient to reach it without touching the solution.

Compared to conventional containers, containers provide the following advantages:

• a lid that tightly closes the container prevents the leakage of the disinfectant solution, as well as the penetration of contaminants from the outside;
• reliable fixation of the structure inside the container provides protection against damage in case of an accidental fall;
• compact size allows you to take the container with you to work, on a trip, etc.;
• the cases are made of opaque plastic, which prevents the contents of the container from being seen.

Consider what to look for when buying a container so as not to make mistakes when choosing:

• Manufacturing material. According to some buyers, the main selection criterion is the price of the product. This is the most common mistake. Models made of low-cost plastic compound have a short service life, are quickly scratched, and are equipped with a leaky cover. Microcracks of such a container are colonized by harmful microorganisms, which subsequently enter the prosthesis.
• The shape and volume of the product. Before choosing a case, you need to try on the design for the size of the container. This is necessary in order to rationally use the disinfectant liquid (if the denture is significantly smaller in size than the container, you have to use a larger amount of solution to clean it), and to prevent damage to the device during transportation (an unsuitable product will "dangle" in container, which could damage it).
• The presence of a mesh barrier. Many buyers believe that its presence in the case is optional, but, according to the recommendations of experts, it is better to choose models with its presence - it simplifies rinsing the structure, as well as the process of getting it. The mesh prevents the contact of the fingers with the solution, so that it does not get dirty.

Experts recommend when buying to pay attention to the tightness of the closure of the lid (which will prevent accidental spillage of the disinfectant), as well as to the flat surface of the bottom (the case must stand level and stable so that the disinfectant liquid completely covers the dental structure).

The less weight the device is, the more convenient it is to take it with you, so this parameter is also worth paying attention to.

Depending on the functional construct, the following types of containers are distinguished:

• Standard - represent a container without additional accessories. This is the most popular model because it is inexpensive in price;
• With a separator - this model has a mesh container that allows you to rinse and take out the prosthesis without touching it with your hands;
• With an ultrasonic cleaning function, it is the best option for caring for dentures, since this modification allows you to clean the structure of food debris and other contaminants. Ultrasound also performed well in disinfection. The degree of cleaning of dentures allows you to almost completely get rid of dirt, which cannot be done with the help of mechanical cleaning. The use of this type of cases is available only for fully removable dentures, since the cleaning process is carried out using sound vibrations at different frequencies.
• Backlit. Suitable for visually impaired people, as well as those who change prostheses in the dark.
• With a mirror. A device of this type allows you to put on and take off the prosthesis on the road, travel, places where it is difficult to control the correct installation.

Some customers consider buying a special case a stupid waste of money and store removable structures in a glass of water. It is important to understand that this is an ideal breeding ground for bacteria that can further irritate and inflame the oral cavity.

Miradent Protho Box

This case is one of the best manufacturers of oral care products. The popularity of models of this type is due to the presence of an additional compartment in which you can store a brush for cleaning the prosthesis (included in the delivery set, equipped with two heads of different hardness), tablets for a disinfectant solution, and other hygiene items.

Many buyers advise buying such a case because of the successful brush for cleaning the removable structure - its head with white bristles cleans the outer surface of the prosthesis, and the black head cleans the inner cavity. A mirror is built into the container lid, allowing you to install the structure anywhere. Another advantage of the device is the presence of a lock on the lid, which completely excludes the possibility of accidental spillage of the disinfectant.

Bradex ultrasonic

This model differs from its competitors by its ultrasonic cleaning function. The container is produced by Bradex in China. Despite the reviews of many buyers, according to which goods from China are of low quality, this model makes a positive impression.

It is made of lightweight plastic, which has increased strength characteristics - it is resistant to scratches and minor mechanical stress.

In such a case, cleaning is carried out not only with the help of a disinfectant solution, but also with the use of ultrasonic vibrations at high frequencies.

The cleaning process is simple and accessible to everyone: you need to pour 200 ml of water into a container, put 1 tablet and immerse the dental structure in it, after which you should turn on the device for 10-15 minutes. After this time, we get a cleaned prosthesis. The solution water can be reused up to 5 times. Since ultrasonic waves can reach the most inaccessible places for the brush, cleaning is performed at a high level.

The device can be used for cleaning jewelry, where it has also proven itself on the positive side. The device does not require special maintenance - it is enough to wash it daily and change the batteries periodically.

If you are in doubt about where it is better to buy a device - in a Russian pharmacy or order on AliExpress, we recommend choosing the first option, since dubious savings of several hundred rubles are offset by the possibility of receiving a damaged or low-quality product and the absence of a manufacturer's warranty.

Conclusion

Before buying a case for removable teeth, you should study what they are, and how they differ from each other. When choosing, you should not be guided by the price, since the purchased device is intended to serve for a long period of time, and must be of high quality.

Experts recommend paying attention to the presence of additional devices that will be convenient for the user. If you intend to carry the case with you often, you should consider models equipped with a mirror, lighting. The ultrasonic cleaning function is also convenient. Well, if the gadget runs on batteries, then you can take it with you. Unfortunately, the power of such devices is not very high, therefore, if the cleaning of prostheses is supposed to be done at home, it is better to pay attention to the devices that operate from the mains.

An important selection criterion is also the tightness of the case, since the leakage of the disinfectant liquid can create additional inconveniences, and the ingress of dirt from the outside can lead to inflammation of the oral cavity. We hope our article will help you make the right choice and buy a container that will last for many years.
