About Brishy
Built by Someone Who Wore a Retainer for 30 Years.
Brishy was founded by Alan Katz, an entrepreneur and lifelong dental appliance wearer who got tired of the same two options: soak it and hope for the best, or spend $100 on a countertop device that still left bacteria behind.
After researching biofilm, the sticky bacterial layer that actually causes odor, yellowing, and hygiene problems on aligners and retainers, Alan set out to build something better. Something mechanical. Something that worked the same way brushing your teeth works: through physical friction, not just chemicals.
The result is BrishyCase™, a patented mechanical cleaning case that scrubs dental appliances clean in 60 seconds using medical-grade silicone micro-brushes and BrishyFoam™, a hydrogen peroxide-based cleaning foam that is independently lab-tested to eliminate 99.9999% of bacteria.
Brishy is headquartered in Bedford, NY.
Our Mission
Clean dental appliances should not require expensive equipment, 15-minute soaking routines, or remembering to change the water in a device that recirculates the very bacteria you are trying to remove.
Our mission is simple: make dental appliance hygiene effortless, effective, and something people actually stick with.
The Science Behind Brishy
BrishyFoam™ was independently tested by NOA Testing & Inspection Technology Ltd. against three of the most common dental appliance pathogens: Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans. Results showed greater than 99.9999% bacterial reduction in 60 seconds, exceeding ISO standard thresholds for all three organisms tested.
Our medical-grade silicone micro-brushes are softer than the plastic used in aligners and retainers, ensuring a deep clean without surface damage.
