Still, consider if you can have coffee with Invisalign first; whether it lets you enjoy a &#8220;cup of joe&#8221; could sway you. Your Copperas Cove orthodontist will even help you out by offering some details. To that end, here&#8217;s a primer on coffee, Invisalign, and how to enjoy the former with the latter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clear Aligners &amp; Coffee Don\u2019t Mix<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To be honest, you shouldn\u2019t have coffee with Invisalign trays in your mouth. Enjoying the drink while you\u2019re wearing aligners would lead to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>High Risk of Tooth Decay<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Since coffee is acidic and sugary, drinking it while wearing aligners increases your risk of tooth decay. The beverage\u2019s sugars and acids could stick to the spaces between your trays and teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stains &amp; Discoloration&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2013 Any drink besides water can stain Invisalign trays, so coffee could discolor your aligners if you have it carelessly. The brown liquid would likely get trapped in the plastic around your teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Warped Trays<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Warm coffee and other hot beverages can warp Invisalign trays, which are made of \u201cthermoplastics.\u201d That outcome would delay your treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the above effects, it isn\u2019t good for patients to have coffee while wearing Invisalign trays. Combining the two doesn\u2019t have pretty results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Enjoy Coffee with Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All that said, getting Invisalign won\u2019t force you to give up your morning java. You just need to be careful in how you manage your treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To enjoy coffee while you benefit from Invisalign, you just need to follow the right steps. The first one is to take off your trays and store them in your carrying case. From there, reduce the sugar content in your coffee so less bacteria will grow on your trays or teeth. You should then have your drink quickly to reduce the time your aligners are out of your mouth. Lastly, brush or rinse your teeth after your coffee but before re-inserting the trays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, it\u2019s possible to drink coffee with Invisalign. Enjoying the best of both just requires a little finesse and caution. However, feel free to consult your dental provider if you have any other questions or concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benchmarkfamilydental.com\/\">Benchmark Family Dental &amp; Orthodontics<\/a> is based in Copperas Cove, TX.
