Can I Drink Coffee and Tea with Invisalign?

Thinking about getting Invisalign to fix your teeth? You might wonder if you can still drink coffee and tea. Lots of people need their coffee or tea! Good news: you can still have them while using Invisalign. But, there are some things to know. Check out this blog from Dr. Barton Soper at Advanced Orthodontics for professional tips on maintaining clean and healthy teeth with aligners!

Drinking Coffee or Tea with Invisalign

Yes, you can drink coffee or tea with Invisalign. But, you need to be careful. Hot drinks can change the shape of your aligners. Also, coffee and tea can stain them. To stop this, take out your aligners before you drink anything besides cold or room temperature water. This keeps your aligners clear and stops them from getting bent from heat. Wait for your drink to cool down before putting your aligners back in.

Tips for Coffee and Tea with Invisalign:

• Take out your aligners: Always take them out before drinking. This stops stains and bending.
• Rinse your mouth: After drinking, rinse with water. This gets rid of any stuff left in your mouth.
• Brush and floss: Clean your teeth after coffee or tea. This stops stains and keeps your teeth and aligners clean.
• Use a straw: If you must drink with aligners in, use a straw. This helps keep the drink away from the aligners.

How Long to Wear Invisalign Each Day

You must wear Invisalign for 20-22 hours a day. Take them out only to eat, drink (except water), brush, and floss. Wearing them a lot helps them work better. The more you wear them, the faster your teeth will get straight.
