I've heard that vinegar removes mineral deposits from coffee makers, bathrooms, etc. Will it work on a flexible piece of plastic? I have a dental appliance that is getting mineral deposits on it. Thanks.

yes. Just rinse it really well after soaking. That vinegar taste can linger!

most likely but the acid can also damage the acrylic. a better move would be to take it back to your dentist or orthodontist for a good soak in the ultrasonic. i'm sure it would be cheaper than a new retainer if you even got charged at all.

You can also use efferdent. Does a great job and tastes better after rinsing than vinegar does.

you should talk to your orthodontist since he probably answers this question several times a day.
