As you begin your treatment with Invisalign or traditional orthodontics, Valencia families should always follow the specific instructions provided by their dental team. For example, if you have conventional braces, it’s important that you avoid eating anything crunchy, hard, or sticky, which might pull brackets or wires off of your teeth. If you have elastics, remove them when you eat. Do not eat with your Invisalign trays; remove them and clean your teeth before putting your aligners back in after meals, and never drink anything other than water while you’re wearing your Invisalign aligners.
