Its the hot beverages that are not recommended due to the warping possibilities. If you use a straw with most soda's then you should be fine..When you are finished with your soda simply rinse them out with water. That way they are out of your mouth for only 30 seconds as opposed to 10 minutes while drinking the entire soda...
I would not advise drinking carbonated drinks of any kind while wearing your aligners. Even though Sprite Zero is sugar free, it is recommended by Invisalign, that the aligners are removed while drinking liquids. Water is ok. For the very best results with your Invisalign treatment and for your dental health please, carefully follow the instructions given to you by your dentist.
I would recommend only drinking water with invisalign in. If you absolutely must drink sprite zero and are in a situation where you can't take your aligners out, then I would recommend using a straw as well as drinking quickly, as you don't want the sugars and acids from the carbonation sitting in your mouth for long periods of time. Make sure to rinse with water.
When wearing your Invisalign trays, you should not eat or drink anything but water.The acid level of the soda can warp the trays and is also harmful to the teeth. On its own soda eats tooth enamel, if it hangs around longer in the mouth by attaching to the trays, it can cause even more damage. I highly suggest stopping the soda habit .
Carbonated drinks, such as Sprite Zero, are fine as long as they are sugar free. You should still remember to stay away from drinks with artificial dyes even though they maybe sugar free. These drinks usually have a lot of sodium in them, and artificial sweeteners, so you should try and brush, or use a good oral rinse when finished. Using a straw is a great way to minimize the amount of contact the drink has with your teeth and aligners.
The "company" answer is only water. This aviods trapping sugary or acidic fluids around the teeth leading to decay (or hot drinks that can warp the aligners).Even with a straw, some fluid can remain, so a water "chaser" would be suggested.(Sugar free sodas are still acidic, so they are not "decay free" drinks and can be much worse).
Invisalign treatment was developed initially for adult orthodontics. I have treated 65 year old and people who are older than that have done so successfully. By straightening your teeth you are creating a more favorable environment in you mouth for maintaining healthy gum. ...
From what I can see in the photo it appears that your arch is fairly narrow,so by widening them with Invisalign the space needed to move the tooth will be created. You are young so the tooth movement will be easier now than later in life. Invisalign teen would be the treatment of choice for you.
Based on your picture, it looks like you are a good candidate for Invisalign, but a lot more information is needed including x-rays and more photos from different angles are necessary to diagnose. A consultation and evaluation with your dentist is the best way to know for sure if you are a good...
