Lots of people love having their morning coffee. There\u2019s something about enjoying a warm, caffeinated beverage that just helps you feel ready to take on the day \u2013 especially as temperatures continue to cool! But if you\u2019re in the middle of an Invisalign treatment<\/a>, will a cup of joe ruin your trays and interrupt your progress?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not necessarily! Keep reading to find out how you can have your coffee and drink it, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Invisalign is Removeable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s true that coffee is notorious for causing stains and could discolor your otherwise invisible aligners. Plus, if you like it hot, you\u2019d also run the risk of warping the plastic due to the heat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, part of what makes Invisalign such a great orthodontic solution is that you can remove the aligners. Before taking a single sip of your favorite beverage, simply pop them out and store them in their case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rinse Your Mouth and Aligners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just because Invisalign is highly convenient doesn\u2019t mean it doesn\u2019t come with some special care requirements, though. If you don\u2019t rinse your mouth and aligners with lukewarm water after every meal \u2013 or cup of coffee \u2013 they could still stain thanks to the pigments left behind on your teeth! So always remember to clean them and your pearly whites before reinserting them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mind Your Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One more thing you\u2019ll have to pay attention to is how much time you spend enjoying your morning brew. As nice as it is to savor it, taking longer than 30 minutes to finish your coffee could slow down your treatment progress. You see, Invisalign can only straighten your teeth when it\u2019s in your mouth, which is why to stay on schedule, you have to wear the aligners for 22 hours per day. Don\u2019t let the warm, coziness of your latte lull you into losing track of time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Official Verdict: You Can Drink Coffee with Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Basically, yes \u2013 it\u2019s absolutely possible to drink coffee during an Invisalign treatment. However, you will have to be careful about how you enjoy it so that you don\u2019t stain your aligners or delay your progress. Keep this in mind, and soon you\u2019ll be taking cute coffeeshop selfies with a new, beautifully straight smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
