Can I Eat With My Aligner Still In My Mouth?

Eating with your aligners in is not recommended.  Have your dentist make a simple flipper that you can use in public situations.  I'm assuming the tooth will eventually be replaced with an implant once the other teeth are in proper alignment so the space will most likely stay the same size.

Although I tell my patients to remove their aligners when eating there have been a few patients that have tried eating with them. My first questyion would be...why do you want to eat with the aligners? If it is on occasion I would say yes..you can eat with the aligner s but be careful not to get food  stuck on or underneath them. Once you have finished eating is is necessary to rinse them off and brush your teeth immediately. If you get food stuck under the aligners it can cause gum problems as well as cavitiies. Also, eating witht he aligner can damaget he aligners, and cause them to be less effective.
