Yes, you can. Aligners should be removed for eating and drinking anything other than cold water.
This gives you the freedom to eat as you wish; however, brushing and flossing are strongly recommended before replacing your aligners.
Tips and Tricks for Success with Invisalign® Aligners
To achieve the best results with your clear aligners, you should wear them for 20-22 hours per day. You can remove them for meals, brushing and flossing. Being consistent in wearing your aligners is key to success with Invisalign.
Here are some additional tips for achieving great results with Invisalign:
- Wear aligners consistently.
- Gently rinse and clean aligners after each use.
- Never eat or drink with your trays in; remove them first.
- Maintain your oral health with consistent brushing and flossing.
- Move to the next set of aligners every two weeks, or according to your treatment plan.
After your treatment is completed, you'll receive retainers similar to the aligners you'll wear at night while you sleep. These will help to keep your teeth from shifting, as they tend to do without retention.
