Hi, you can use a denture cleaner to clean you orthodontic retainer because the denture and the retainer are fabricated from the same material. Alternatively you can use the toothpaste and brush to clean the retainer. Keep it in water while not in use and change the water everyday.

Hello and Welcome to HCM,
Thanks for writing to us.
Denture-related breath odor is likely the result of wearing your dentures at night or not cleaning them appropriately
Clean dentures at least once a day using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a denture cleaner, mild soap or dishwashing liquid to gently scrub away food particles and plaque that collect on the dentures and contribute to bad breath. Dentures must be kept moist whenever you're not wearing them. Place them in water or a denture-soaking solution at night
Hope this helps you.
Wishing you good health...
Regards.
Hello and welcome to health care magic forum,
The bad smell is due to the plaque and food debris which got accumulated in your denture.
Your denture has to be cleaned properly,both inner as well as outer surfaces using toothbrush and toothpaste.
please make sure that you clean your denture daily in the same way as you brush your teeth.
Rinse your denture after every meals.
Whenever you are not wearing denture,please put them in a bowl of cold water.
Also clean and floss your tongue daily.
I wish you good health.
