Is there anything other than water I can drink when wearing Invisalign?

Q.
Hey Adam! I’m 17 and just got my invisalign yesterday. To be honest, I’m normally a HUGE soda drinker – but I’m trying to cut back so I don’t damage my teeth after getting everything taken care of.

I’ve been told the only thing I should drink with invisalign in is water, and I understanding water is the best thing for me – but will drinking milk hurt my teeth if i drink it with invisalign in?

Are there any other negative side effects I should worry about with drinking milk with invisalign in aside from clouding my invisalign trays?

thank you for your time and apologies for the long question, I’m just hoping there’s SOMETHING I can drink without having to go through the painful process of removing the trays each time I’m thirsty.

Hi
I would probably just recommend water with your aligners in. We advise against anything sugary (such as soda) being drunk with the aligners in as this can lead to the teeth sitting in a ‘sugar bath’, which isn’t good for them!
Your will be able to remove the aligners much more easily after the first 2-3 days.
