It is recommended to remove your clear aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. Eating with aligners can cause damage or staining, and food particles can get trapped, leading to potential oral hygiene issues. Removing the aligners also prevents pressure on your teeth during meals. After eating, brush your teeth before reinserting the aligners to maintain cleanliness and effectiveness. At Creekwood Dental Arts, Dr. Donna Miller provides clear guidance on caring for your aligners to ensure optimal results.
