Guide to Eating With Invisalign®

While plenty of people still doubt the effectiveness of using Invisalign® in Fort Lauderdale, they're missing out on one of the most fantastic solutions to straightening teeth. One excellent benefit of this device is the freedom to eat whatever and whenever one pleases. Wearers don't have to worry about their braces, wires, and brackets getting damaged because these clear aligners have a seamless design and can be removed.

While these clear braces are an excellent tool for fixing misaligned teeth, there are still some guidelines that you need to adhere to when eating your meals. To help you protect your Invisalign when eating, here are some rules about eating that wearers should know.

Rules When Eating and Drinking With(out) Invisalign

Remove Your Aligners When Eating

First things first – you should never try to eat while you're wearing your clear aligners. Even if it's a soft food, like soups, mashed potato, or ice cream, it might affect your device's shape and durability. Before eating any meal, make it a habit to remove your Invisalign aligners to keep them safe and secure.  

Avoid Smoking and Drinking Alcohol

Smoking and consuming alcohol might harm the effectiveness and durability of your clear aligners. Smoking can discolor or distort your aligners, reducing their efficacy and making them unsanitary. It can even break the appearance of your entire smile. Keep away from them to help preserve the color and effectiveness of your clear aligners.  

Avoid Colored Drinks

While using clear aligners, drinking coffee, soft drinks, and colored juices frequently could discolor them over time. You must take your Invisalign out every time you need to consume these drinks if you don't want them to discolor. To avoid staining your teeth or damaging your aligners, the only beverage you should have while wearing them is water.
