You have recently gotten\u00a0Invisalign clear aligners<\/a>. You\u2019re ecstatic to finally achieve your dream smile, but what do you do until then? How do you enjoy yourself on a night out when you need to keep your Invisalign in for most of the day? You don\u2019t want to have to completely miss out on all of the appetizers and fun drinks. How can you have it all at once? Continue on for a few tips on having fun, drinking, and eating with Invisalign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Bring Your Case<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You should be wearing your aligners for 20-22 hours every day. Even if you don\u2019t plan on having any alcoholic beverages or snacks, you should bring the hard case for your aligners anyways. If you change your mind and need to take them out, it\u2019s important that you can put them into a safe place until you\u2019re able to place them back into your mouth. If your aligners become damaged, it can take longer than expected to complete your treatments and cost a lot more money to have them repaired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stick to Clear Drinks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you drink liquids with darker pigments like dark beer and red wine, they can stain both your teeth and your aligners. Stick to water if you can because you can drink it while you keep your Invisalign in your mouth. If you decide that it\u2019s time for a cocktail, pick a lighter one and remove your aligners while you\u2019re sipping on it. You don\u2019t want the beverage to stick to your teeth and increase your risk of developing tooth decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rinse with Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you decide to remove your aligners and have a quick drink, make sure to rinse your mouth with water before putting them back in. Even though you should be brushing your teeth, a quick rinse can get you by until you\u2019re able to clean them properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bring a Toothbrush<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re snacking on appetizers or having beverages other than water, the best thing you can do is brush your teeth before putting your aligners back into your mouth. This will keep your Invisalign from becoming stained and reduce your risk for tooth decay and other dental issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just because your smile is a work in progress doesn\u2019t mean that you need to give up all your good times with friends. Just remember to have fun, take care of your teeth, and keep your aligners safe. You\u2019ll have the smile you\u2019ve always wanted in no time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
