Can you brush your teeth too much with Invisalign?

How do you cheat on Invisalign?
One of the simplest and most effective tips is to clean as you eat. Retainer Brite Cleaning Tablets are something I picked up and now keep in my kitchen. Allowing at least 15 minutes for the Retainer Brite tablet to soak before I eat is an important part of my meal prep routine. No matter how hard you try, you will never be able to get Invisalign trays as white as new.
