Scientific Facts
ArmiGard™ Oral Appliance Solution contain both hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid as primary ingredients. Some of the best natural cleansers include hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, hot water, and some may include essential oils for fragrance.
Hydrogen peroxide has been proven to be more effective at killing some forms of bacteria than other ammonium compounds.
Peracetic acid is an organic chemical compound that is a very effective antimicrobial agent and is highly effective against a broad range of microorganisms.
ArmiGard™ Oral Appliance Solution is approved by dental professionals and made in America. Our solution has been thoroughly tested and proven highly effective and safe for all ages and removable dental appliances.
ArmiGard™ is specially formulated to kill germs found on oral appliances with unprecedented effectiveness and safety.
