What Can You Safely Drink with Invisalign?

Invisalign is a unique and innovative straightening method that has become a popular alternative to traditional braces, especially among teens and adults. With Invisalign, you can enjoy more dietary freedom and a more discreet orthodontic experience.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign uses 3D technology to create a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually move your teeth into the desired position. These aligners are switched out about every two weeks and do not require in-office adjustments like traditional braces.

Made from nearly invisible plastic, Invisalign aligners are discreet and easy to wear. For optimal results, you should wear the aligners for 22 hours a day—only removing them to eat, drink, brush, or floss.

What Can I Drink While Wearing Invisalign?

You can enjoy a wide range of beverages with Invisalign, but it’s important to follow these guidelines:

• Remove aligners before drinking anything other than water. Hot drinks can warp the plastic, and staining drinks like coffee or tea can discolor the aligners.
• Avoid sugary and acidic drinks (such as soda or juice) while wearing aligners, as these can erode enamel if not rinsed properly before reinserting your trays.
• Always rinse your mouth or brush your teeth before putting your aligners back in to maintain both your dental health and the clarity of the trays.

Is Invisalign Right for You?

While Invisalign isn’t suitable for every orthodontic case, it’s an excellent choice for correcting mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and alignment issues. If you want a more flexible and less noticeable way to improve your smile, Invisalign might be the solution.
