How should I go about making my retainer kosher l’Pesach? For the past two years I think I soaked it for a couple of days, then ran it under warm water it’ll melt if I use hot water), maybe used soap or toothpaste, and put it in some thingy that vibrates to remove shmutz from tiny crevices. Can someone tell me if I’m doing anything wrong, or if there’s something else I could be doing, like selling it and not wearing it for Pesach?

April 6, 2014 4:44 pm at 4:44 pm #1011508takahmamashParticipantAren’t you supposed to remove your retainer before you eat?

He said you don’t have to do a thing. Zilch, zip, nada, efes. Sounds good to me – I had already started soaking it!
