Do you love starting your morning with a warm cup of coffee? Maybe you reach for an iced latte in the afternoon for a little burst of energy. Whatever the case may be, you might be wondering if you will need to give up this caffeinated beverage during your teeth-straightening journey with Invisalign<\/a>. Read on to find out the answer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

True or False: You Can Drink Coffee with Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Good news: you don\u2019t have to give up coffee during your Invisalign treatment. You do, however, need to remove your aligners first. Otherwise, they will quickly discolor, drawing unwanted attention to your braces. Plus, hot coffee can cause the plastic to warp, which can lead to unwanted treatment plan delays. So, always make sure you take them off beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Important Thing to Keep in Mind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign doesn\u2019t come with very many rules, but there is one important one: you need to wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day. Since that only leaves you with a few hours of aligner-free time each day, you need to be strategic. For example, you should drink your coffee with your breakfast or lunch since your aligners will already be out. You should also rinse your mouth with water and brush your teeth shortly after so you can put your trays back on ASAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To: Drink Coffee the \u201cSmile-Friendly\u201d Way<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, the fact that coffee is acidic and dark in color makes it not the best for your smile. The good news is that there are a few things you can do to prevent enamel erosion and dental discoloration. The first step is keeping additives, like sugar, to a minimum. The second step is using a straw so the liquid has minimal-to-no contact with your teeth. The third step was mentioned above: rinse your mouth with water and brush your teeth when you\u2019re done so you can put your aligners back on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, you don\u2019t have to choose between coffee and a straight smile \u2013 you can have both!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
