Can I Still Have Coffee and Invisalign?



Can I still drink coffee while having Invisalign?


This is such a common question with our Invisalign patients.  It could definitely make or break a patient's decision when choosing which option to go with when deciding if traditional braces or Invisalign is best for them.


Yes, you can still have coffee and have Invisalign! There are something's that you will have to do differently with your morning coffee (All Day Coffee) that we tell all of our patients.  

We ask you to take your aligners out while drinking coffee and try to drink it a sitting like when you are eating breakfast, or drinking to work.  Then rinse with water or brush teeth and returning the aligners back in after.  If you choose to leave them in while you are drinking coffee please drink through a straw to limit the staining of the aligners and rinse thoroughly after. This will also insure that the coffee is not too hot to ruin the aligners. (Patients are only wearing each tray for 7 days so we do not see too much staining during this process.) 

If you have any questions or concerns about foods/ drinks that you can or cannot eat always feel free to call the office and ask an assistant.
