Can I Drink Sparkling Water When Wearing Aligners?

April 11th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Manoloutsou. I just got my first tray yesterday. I’m not usually a water drinker, I dislike the taste it leaves in my mouth. I usually drink flavoured sparkling water. The flavoured water I drink contains no sugar and no artificial colours. However, the ingredients do include citric acid, potassium citrate, and malic acid. Can I can drink? Still water is making me gag and it’s only day two. Thank you!

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

January 23rd, 2012
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.

Can I use a straw to drink things OTHER than water?

May 18th, 2010
Q.
Would using a straw to have drinks other than water make it okay to have them with aligners in? Won\’t bother if it won\’t but thought it would be best to get some advice.,
