Why is my Invisalign tray greenish-yellow?

Question

I always take my invisalign out everytime I eat and drink. I also brush my teeth and trays regularly. But, when I took them out today the molars are greenish-yellow. I am on my 7th tray and this has never happened before. Also, is there anyway to take the green away?

Thank you for posting your question.  An accuarate assesment can only be given if it is seen.  Show your dentist what your are talking about and see what he says.  I can only speculate...You may not have cleaned the tray thoroughly enough. There may be something growing on the tray or it could be residual plaque build-up with staining.  You should use a toothbrush to clean the tray and remove any build-up that may be there. Placing the tray in an 8 ounce glass of water and a few drops of bleach may help to kill anything that may be growing on it. Rinse the tray well before placing it back in your mouth.  Hope that helps!  Good Luck!
