But I have been doing some research and Viniger is supposed to get off any stains. If you want to find out about how to use Viniger just google it and they will give you all the information you need.

So I was looking into invisalign, but I work for room and board and it doens't look as though I'll be able to find other work anytime soon, is there a at home product of some kind that I can use that I don't need a dentist or orthodontist for? You know something to just get started on getting them moved some, without killing my tounge and muscles pushing on them? I know I need a dentist to have them all straight, but I just want them non crowded enough to clean them well for the time, till I have the money and means for braces again or invisalign...any suggestions?

I use toothbrush and toothpaste to clean it, but I don't want to have to clean it after every time I eat something. Is there any efficient way to clean it and do I need a separate toothbrush for my retainer? My retainer seems to easily catch bad smelling stuff.
