You scratch your head, puzzled, and wonder if you\u2019re allowed to enjoy your favorite beverage now that you\u2019re undergoing Invisalign treatment to correct your crooked smile. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about safely consuming coffee without compromising your Invisalign!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You Shouldn\u2019t Drink Coffee While Wearing Your Invisalign Trays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist has probably mentioned this, but you should avoid\ndrinking most beverages while you\u2019re wearing your Invisalign trays. Coffee is\nno exception\u2014like many other drinks, it contains staining agents that can easily\ndiscolor your trays, much like how they can stain your natural teeth! Coffee is\nalso extremely acidic and often contains sugary additives, both of which\ngreatly increase the risk of tooth decay. Lastly, your Invisalign trays are made\nof a heat-sensitive thermoplastic that can easily become warped and disfigured\nwhen exposed to high temperatures, like hot coffee. You should only drink water\nwhile you\u2019re wearing your Invisalign trays, period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips For Enjoying Coffee During Your Invisalign Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that you don\u2019t have to entirely give up coffee\nduring your Invisalign treatment, if you\u2019re careful! Here are a few tips for enjoying\ncoffee without compromising your treatment: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Remove your trays<\/strong> \u2013 If you\u2019re going to\ndrink coffee or anything other than water, you should remove your trays and safely\nstore them in their carrying case.<\/li><li><strong>Drink quickly<\/strong> \u2013 Since you need to wear your\nInvisalign trays for 22 hours a day, you should enjoy your coffee quickly rather\nthan sipping it slowly to minimize the time your trays spend outside of your\nmouth.<\/li><li><strong>Skip the sugary additives<\/strong> \u2013 Part of what\nmakes coffee so tasty but so bad for your oral health is the high number of\nsugary additives that are often included. Reducing the amount of sugar that you\nadd to your coffee can help to reduce the risk of bacteria growing on your\ntrays.<\/li><li><strong>Brush or rinse afterwards<\/strong> \u2013 You should\nbrush or rinse your teeth after drinking a cup of coffee and before putting your\ntrays back in.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a regular coffee fiend, don\u2019t worry! You can still\nenjoy your favorite beverage without compromising your Invisalign treatment;\njust be careful, follow these tips, and ask your dentist if you have any specific\nquestions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Littleton Dental Studio is proud to serve patients and\nfamilies in the Littleton community under the leadership of Dr. Cale Beasley.\nDr. Beasley completed his dental doctorate at the University of Missouri at Kansas\nCity and has several years of experience and expertise in a variety of fields.
