You’ll need to remove your aligners before you eat, drink something other than plain, cool water, and clean your teeth. Failure to do so may lead to damaged aligner trays and potentially derail your treatment.
Eating while wearing your aligner trays can also lead to food particles, residue, and bacteria getting caught in them. This could not only derail your treatment, but also cause lasting oral health issues such as bad breath, tooth decay, and gum disease.
