Foods You CAN Have with Invisalign

Invisalign

With traditional metal braces, there are a large number of foods that you are advised to avoid so that you don’t damage your brackets or end up with odd stains on your teeth. But with Invisalign clear aligners, you can eat and drink anything that you want! Here are some of the foods that traditional braces would say that you can’t have, but that Invisalign permits.

Caramels and Taffy: Caramels and taffies are definitely on the can’t-have list. Since they’re so sticky, they can cause your metal brackets to pop off, which will mean an emergency trip to the orthodontist to get it fixed.

Teeth Staining Drinks: Coffee, red wine, and some sodas will stain your teeth. In normal situations that wouldn’t be a huge problem, but if you have metal brackets on your teeth that cover a small portion of your enamel, you’ll end up with “tan-lines” on your teeth from uneven staining.

Since traditional, metal braces can take years to come off, you may end up spending a whole year or more not having these foods. Or, you may choose to get Invisalign from Advanced Orthodontic Center and eat and drink anything you like while straightening your teeth!
