Did you know that a 2022 study found that 74% of Americans drink coffee every day? So, whether you enjoy starting your morning with a warm cup of coffee or indulging in an iced caf\u00e9 in the afternoon, you\u2019re certainly not alone. But what if you\u2019re about to start your Invisalign<\/a> treatment? Do you have to refrain from this delicious, energizing beverage because of your clear aligners? If you\u2019re curious, then keep reading for the answer to the common question, \u201cCan you drink coffee with Invisalign?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

So, Do I Have to Stop Drinking Coffee During My Invisalign Treatment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you love coffee, then you\u2019ll be happy to hear that the answer is \u201cno!\u201d However, there is one rule: you must remove your clear aligners before drinking coffee and other beverages that aren\u2019t water. Neglecting to do so can result in numerous problems, from severely stained trays to significant tooth decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important note: since wearing your aligners for 20-22 hours a day is crucial to staying on-track with your treatment plan, do your best to enjoy your cup of coffee with a meal instead of separately. We also recommend drinking plenty of water and waiting 15 minutes or so before brushing your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two Ways to Make Your Cup of Coffee \u201cSmile-Friendly\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most coffee enthusiasts consider taste before anything else. However, it\u2019s important to also consider what\u2019s best for your smile. One of the best things you can do is keep added sugar to a minimum since this sweetener is one of the biggest culprits of cavities. Remember, the development of tooth decay will put your treatment temporarily on hold, which can add weeks or months to your original timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another proactive measure you can take to keep your teeth (and your aligners) stain-free is using a straw. If you can, consider using a reusable straw to cut down on plastic waste!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Do If Your Aligners Start to Discolor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, yellow trays can make your teeth look discolored as well. To keep your aligners clear, it\u2019s important to consistently clean them after each meal. Fortunately, all you need is some clean water and a soft-bristled toothbrush! If more significant discoloration surfaces, then you can dissolve a packet of cleaning crystals (the ones that came in your Invisalign welcome kit) in a glass of water for 15 minutes or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
