I was curious if I was allowed to drink anything while wearing Invisalign or if it would damage my Invisalign. Drinks (with the exception of coffee and tea; I also do not drink soda) such as (fruit/veggie) juice, slushes with low sugar, soup, handmade thick smoothies, and alcohol. And how often am I exactly allowed to eat ice cream? Also, if I was able to eat soft foods, such as vegetables that are cooked to the point where it is akin to baby food, or food such as mashed potatoes. Thank you!
I got 15 Invisalign attachments put on today. 9 upper, 6 lower. Mostly all in the back/sides. Without the aligners over them, they are very rough (not sharp). It's also very difficult to eat now. It's hard to chew, and I keep biting my bottom lip instead of the food. Is this normal? Will it get better? Thanks!
I recently started my Invisalign process this past week. I have the glue on at least half a dozen on my top and bottom teeth, some of which are very sharp and pointy. When I'm eating meals this can be very painful as my inner lips are always rubbing against these sharp pieces of glue. What can I do about this?
My invisalign treatment on fixing my overbite has been going on well and almost done. I'm now on 36/38. I'm quite happy with the new alignment of my teeth. However, there has been a large horizontal space between my upper and lower inner teeth. This is unacceptable especially when I remove my tray and while eating. In fact, I can't use my inner teeth to chew at all. I'm afraid that there will be no improvement on this at my final tray. I wonder how other Invisalign cases resolve this gap issue?
I just got Invisalign and am well aware that I shouldn't eat or drink (besieged water) with them on. If I go on vacation it would be annoying having to remove them every time I wanted to drink. Would it be possible if I kept the Invisalign in but drank with a straw? This also goes to any occasion where alcoholic drinks are on the menu.
I brush after everything I eat but I don't want to do that in School as it can be time consuming and very awkward since everyone would probably be staring at me. Is there an alternative? Can I instead just floss and then rinse my teeth and aligners? Thanks in advance!
Getting my braces removed and my orthodontist has already been advising me to wear my plastic retainer 24/7, keep it in while eating and only remove it to clean it. I am also a big fan of curry and I'm afraid if I keep my retainer in while eating it will stain really bad. Please help???
I've been feeling pain in my three upper right rearmost molars while drinking and eating soft foods. Cool water is enough to cause sharp pain in these teeth. I can bite down on meats, nuts and other tough or hard foods with these teeth just fine, but chewing SOFT foods like bananas or fig newtons has started causing severe, almost preoccupying pain in these teeth. This started just after finishing a multi-year invisalign treatment 2 weeks ago - I was given a set of very tight retainers.
