Maybe you believe that you can&#8217;t get through a workday without a cup of joe. If so, it&#8217;s understandable that you would hesitate about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.willowgrovedentist.com\/orthodontics.html\">Invisalign<\/a> in Willow Grove \u2014 you might think it\u2019d make&nbsp; give up your coffee habit. However, the truth is the opposite: it&#8217;s possible to have your special drink even as you straighten your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on to learn why you should take your aligners out for coffee-drinking and tips for enjoying the beverage during treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Drink Coffee While Wearing Trays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you probably suspect, it isn\u2019t good to drink coffee while wearing Invisalign trays. (It\u2019s better only to have water when the aligners are in your mouth.) Doing so will result in one or more of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Stains and discoloration&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2013 Any drink other than water can stain Invisalign trays, discoloring them and making them visible on your teeth. You\u2019d also be at greater risk of tooth stains since coffee will be caught between the trays and your teeth.<\/li><li><strong>Increased risk of decay<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Coffee tends to be both acidic and sugary since many add cream and sugar to it. As a result, it\u2019ll increase your chances of tooth decay as it sticks to the spaces between the aligners and your enamel.<\/li><li><strong>Your trays may warp<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Being made of \u201cthermoplastics,\u201d Invisalign trays warp when you drink hot coffee or any other hot beverage. Should that happen, your treatment will suffer.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the above, dentists discourage patients from coffee while the latter wear Invisalign. Still, that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t enjoy your morning cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steps for Drinking Coffee During Invisalign Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So long as you follow the proper steps, you can have coffee without hurting your teeth or trays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, remember to take off your trays and safely store them in your carrying case. Next, try to reduce the amount of sugar in your coffee so fewer bacteria will grow on your trays or teeth. From there, enjoy your drink quickly to minimize the time the aligners are out of your mouth. Finally, brush or rinse your teeth after finishing your coffee but before re-inserting the trays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coffee drinkers have nothing to fear from Invisalign. You can enjoy the best of both during the straightening process. That said, talk to your dentist soon about how trays could lead to a better smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.willowgrovedentist.com\/\"><em>Advanced Smile Design<\/em><\/a><em> is based in Willow Grove, PA.
