Been using Invisalign for a bit now, and I'm kinda torn between soaking them in those fizzy cleaning tablets or just brushing with toothpaste. Tablets seem convenient but sometimes leave a weird taste. Brushing feels thorough but I worry about scratches. Which do you guys prefer and why?

Honestly, I ditched both tablets and toothpaste after a week. Tablets were pricey and left that weird aftertaste you mentioned, and toothpaste made mine cloudy (maybe I brush too aggressively?). Now I just soak them in diluted mouthwash for a few minutes while I'm showeringβ€”cheap, minty fresh, and no scratches yet. Plus, my dentist hasn't scolded me yet, so I figure I'm good...right?
