☕ Can you drink coffee with aligners on?
Calling all coffee lovers on an aligner journey! 🦷✨ We all love our daily brew, but keeping your aligners in while sipping can do more harm than you think.
Here is why you should always take them out before that cup of coffee:
Staining: Hot coffee can quickly stain your clear aligners, making them noticeable.
Warpage: Heat from hot beverages can actually alter the shape and dimensions of your aligners.
Cavity Risk: If your coffee has sugar, trapped liquid between your aligner and teeth creates a breeding ground for bacteria and decay.
The Golden Rule:
1. Remove your trays before sipping.
2. Rinse your mouth after you finish your coffee.
3. Pop your aligners back in—and wear them for 22 to 24 hours a day!
