You should be wearing your trays all the time except when you brush your teeth or for very important social occasions. If you leave them out keep them in cold water and somewhere where your dog can't chew them. Once a week, while you brush your teeth, put them in a glass of water with just one drop of household bleach. Rinse thoroughly before putting back in your mouth
Soak your aligners, brush and floss your teeth before reinserting your aligners, and rinse your aligners when you remove them. Dry saliva and plaque create a perfect breeding ground for foul smelling bacteria.

Go to Amazon and order a device cleaning case for dentures and retainers and retainer cleaning tablet.
You should brush them with toothpaste and make sure you use cold water. You should check with the dentist or orthodontist you are getting the Invisalign treatment with.
Brush the inside of them and place them in an ultrasonic cleaner.
