Is it OK to drink sparkling water with Invisalign trays in?

Question

Currently, I have been removing my aligners whenever I drink anything except water. I was wondering if it would cause problems if I drank sugar free sparkling water, such as La Croix, Pellegrino, or Perrier when wearing my trays? Thank you!

This is a great question.  Although there is no sugar in the sparkling water the carbonation makes it very acidic. This acidity can be very erosive on teeth.  I would reccomend to only drink plain water while you have the trays in.  Hope this helps!  Good Luck!

Dear Melissalee19,Thank you for posting your question on Real Self.  I will do my best to answer your question with the information given.  Drinking sparkling water while wearing your Invisalign aligners should not affect them.  Usually, the concern is distorting or staining aligners.  Usually, drinks that are clear and not too hot are fairly safe.  I wish you the best of luck with your aligners, and I hope this helps!Best,Dr. Jenn
