Can you drink tea or coffee while wearing Invisalign?
Remove clear aligners before tea or coffee because heat, pigments, sugar, and acids can affect the trays and teeth.
Why do heat and pigments matter for clear aligners?
Aligners are thermoplastic trays that apply planned forces; water is the usual drink while they are fitted.
What should you do after tea or coffee?
Remove trays for drinks, clean your mouth and rinse the trays before replacing them, and avoid hot water for cleaning.
When should poor fit or irritation be checked?
Contact the orthodontic team for a distorted tray, persistent irritation, worsening pain, or poor fit.
What should you ask about drinks and stained aligners?
Ask which drinks are permitted, how to clean stained plastic, and whether the tray still fits.
