can i drink beer with invisalign
Hey Bill, do you know if it's okay to drink beer while wearing Invisalign braces?
Well, I'm not a dentist but from what I understand, it's generally advised not to consume beverages other than water while wearing them. Beverages, especially those with color or sugar, can stain or damage your Invisalign aligners.
I see, and I guess beer would fall into that category?
Indeed, beer usually has color and it definitely has sugar. Regularly exposing your aligners to these could discolor them and could potentially lead to cavities when the sugar is trapped against your teeth.
Right, that makes sense. So I should remove them when drinking then?
Yes, that would be your best course of action. However, remember to wear your aligners for the recommended 20-22 hours a day. After drinking, you should also consider brushing your teeth before putting them back in to prevent any residue from damaging your teeth or the aligners.
