Invisalign tips for coffee-lovers

Who thinks that you cannot drink coffee/tea with your aligners?

Here are 6 tips for Invisalign patients who love coffee/tea:

1. Enjoy your drink with your aligners on. It’s important to only remove the aligners for 2 hours a day.
2. Rinse thoroughly with water after drinking coffee/tea to prevent staining of the teeth.
3. Remove the aligners and rinse thoroughly with water if you put sugar in your coffee/tea.
4. Add milk: it cools down the drink and helps prevent staining.
5. Drink the iced versions: they also help decrease staining.
6. Use a whitening foam in your aligner at night to prevent staining.
