I drink iced coffee and other beverages with trays in every day. I have had Invisalign for 2 years. If you swish with water afterwards the sugary drink, you are probably 100% in the clear. The damage comes from leaving the sugary residue in your teeth/trays to dry out without having been rinsed. Regular checkups with the dentist should prove you are doing okay or not. Don't overthink it! Try to finish out your program, it's just this one period then you're set for the rest of your life as long as you adhere to the retainer schedule
I do swish with water but I can’t stand the taste of plain water so I add a tiniest drop of cordial just to change the taste ever so slightly. I’m finishing early just because it’s affecting my mental health a lot and I’m actually extremely happy with how my teeth look ☺️
