Can I eat and drink with Invisalign aligners?

One of Invisalign's biggest advantages is no food restrictions:

Remove aligners for: - All food and snacks - Coffee, tea, soda - Wine and alcohol - Hot beverages - Any colored/sugary drinks

You CAN drink with aligners in: - Plain water (encouraged) - That's it!

Why remove for other drinks: - Hot liquids can warp aligners - Sugar gets trapped (causes cavities) - Staining (coffee, wine, tea) - Carbonation can damage aligners

Eating with Invisalign: 1. Remove aligners 2. Store in case (never napkin!) 3. Eat whatever you want 4. Brush teeth (or at least rinse) 5. Put aligners back in

No foods are off-limits: - Popcorn, nuts, chips - Caramel, taffy, gum - Apples, corn on cob - Crusty bread - Everything braces wearers can't have!

Just remember to put aligners back in promptly to maintain your 22 hours of daily wear.
