Is it OK to drink Herbal Teas such as Chamomile/Lemon while wearing Invisalign?

Question

I understand that you have to take off your braces when drinking soda, regular tea, coffee because of staining and such but how about herbal teas?

Sarah Thompson, DMD · Answer

Hello there,You should not drink herbal teas while wearing your Invisalign trays.  Regular tea, soda, coffee and herbal tea will stain your trays.  I would recommend that you always remove them when you eat and when you drink anything other than water. It's important to remove your trays before each meal, brush and floss diligently and keep your aligners clean.  Good luck and I hope this helps.

If the tea is clear in color with no sugar added, you can drink it while wearing Invisalign. It should not stain your aligners.

You may drink liquids other than water with your Invisalign, but we always recommend taking them out and rinsing thoroughly with water, shortly after finishing your beverage. The risk of drinking colored liquids with the aligners in is that they may stain.
