Yes, You Can Still Have Your Favorite Drinks!
Many people think they have to give up coffee and tea when they get Invisalign. That’s not true! You can still have these drinks, but you need to follow some easy steps.
Hot drinks can make your clear Invisalign trays change shape. Dark drinks like coffee and tea can turn them from clear to not-so-clear. But don’t worry – there’s a simple fix!
Four Easy Steps to Enjoy Your Drinks
- Take out your trays before you drink anything that’s not water.
- Rinse your mouth with water after your drink.
- Brush your teeth before putting your trays back in.
- Wait for hot drinks to cool down before putting your trays back in.
Want a quick tip? Use a straw if you must drink with your trays in. This helps keep the drink away from your trays.
Wear Your Trays Most of the Day
For the best and fastest results, keep your Invisalign in for 20-22 hours each day. Only take them out for eating, drinking (not water), brushing, and cleaning. The more you wear them, the quicker you’ll see your new smile!
