This is likely saliva, which can accumulate over time if you are not careful to rinse your aligns regularly. Wiping down the aligns with a cloth or tissue after each use will help to reduce this buildup.
There is no one “best” toothpaste for Invisalign, as the best option will depend on the individual’s specific needs and dental goals. However, some popular toothpastes that are often recommended for use with Invisalign include: Crest Whitestrips, Colgate Total, and Oral-B Pro-Health.
There are a few different ways to clean Invisalign retainers, depending on the type of cleaner and the material of the retainers. For general cleaning, you can use a mild soap and water solution or an alcohol-based cleaner. For tougher stains, you can use a toothpaste or gel cleanser with scrubbing action. Be sure to rinse thoroughly after using any of these cleaners to avoid causing damage to the retainers.

Invisalign Cleaning Crystals are not necessary for regular Invisalign maintenance. The aligners themselves are self-cleaning and will remove any food or debris that may have accumulated on them. If you notice any signs of wear or tear on your aligners, however, you should schedule a cleaning appointment with your dentist.
Typically, we will switch trays every 6 months.
