There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on the particular retainer. Some retainers are made of a softer material that may be damaged by soaking in vinegar, while others are made of a more durable material and may not be damaged at all. It is generally advised that if your retainer is not broken, do not soak it in vinegar. Instead, try using a toothpaste or baking soda paste to clean it.
The white buildup on your retainer is likely calcium and phosphate. This can be caused by grinding your teeth at night or eating hard foods that are difficult to brush. To remove the buildup, you can use a toothpaste with abrasives or a pea-sized amount of baking soda mixed with water.
Retainers can become clogged with dental plaque and bacteria. If this happens, the retainers may not fit properly or be able to hold your teeth in their proper position. This can lead to tooth loss and other dental problems.
