But while savoring that warm java may look a bit different with aligners, it\u2019s still possible with a few important modifications.

This includes beverages like coffee or tea and any food you can imagine (If all you\u2019re drinking is water, you can leave your them in). This is because if you don\u2019t remove them to eat or to drink most beverages, it can cause a few problems, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Damage to the aligners from the heat of your beverage or food<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dirty buildup or discoloration on your aligners<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Food or drink caught between the teeth and aligners that could cause cavities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brush Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you do choose to indulge in anything but water, it is also important to clean your teeth well before putting your aligners back on. Be sure to both brush and floss each time so that you\u2019re not trapping food against your teeth while you\u2019re wearing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Time Out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important thing to remember is that you must wear your aligners for 22 hours each day; this means that you should be conscientious about the time you have them off. If you normally sip your coffee slowly throughout your day, you should try to shorten this time to about 15 to 30 minutes, so you don\u2019t spend all your aligner-free time on one cup of coffee. It may also help to have your coffee with a meal, so you are multitasking the time you have aligners off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, one of the major benefits of Invisalign is the flexibility you have over traditional braces. Your aligners can be easily removed for eating, drinking, and caring for your teeth, and treatment times are typically much faster, too, but you must follow the cleaning and aligner-free time guidelines to stay on track. To learn more about the many perks of straightening your smile with Invisalign, speak to your dentist today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Dr. Madhav<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prestonbenddental.com\/our-team.html\">Dr. Anita Naik Madhav<\/a> is proud to offer her patients versatile, convenient orthodontic options like Invisalign.
