I’ve been eating with my aligners in, am I more likely to develop cavities now?

Q. I know you aren\’t supposed to eat with the aligners in but every now and then I have done so. Even though I know it is bad, Will doing so make it more likely that I will developed something like cavities or is not that bad? Getting a bit worried now after being so foolish.,

A. If you eat or drink with your aligners in you can damage them. You can also increase your likelyhood of developing decay if you drink fizzy drinks with your aligners in. I would recommend you follow your dentist\’s instructions not to eat or drink with the aligners in.
