All your friends are ready to take you for a fun night out, but you wonder if eating and drinking will affect your new trays. You\u2019re looking forward to the short treatment time and want to make sure you don\u2019t do anything to jeopardize that. Taking care of your new aligners is easier than you thought. Just follow these 4 tips below and get ready to celebrate a straighter smile and a more confident you!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rinse Your Aligners Often<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each time you take your aligners out throughout the night,\nyou\u2019ll want to be sure to rinse them to get rid of any bacteria or food\nparticles. This will keep your gums healthy and avoid any bacteria buildup. Because\nthey\u2019re removable, you can easily sneak away to the bathroom and quickly rinse\nthem under the faucet without a problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take Your Trays Out Before You Eat or Drink<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With Invisalign, you won\u2019t have to restrict what you eat or\ndrink. It is important to take out your trays before you consume anything\nbesides water though. Eating with them could cause them to break and lengthen\nyour treatment period while drinking alcohol with them may make them cloudy or\nstained. Remember that eating and drinking with your trays can not only cause\nthem to discolor, but it can also make them smell unpleasant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you decide to drink with them in, it\u2019s best to avoid anything\nthat\u2019s dark in color and stick to white wine, gin, or vodka. Also, try to avoid\nany sugary mixed drinks and choose tonic or soda water instead. Sugary drinks\nnot only put your teeth at risk of decay, but they can make them feel\nunpleasant with your aligners in. It\u2019s also vital to remember to brush your\nteeth after drinking anything besides water if you\u2019re able to. If you\u2019re not\nable to do this, be sure to rinse your mouth out with water to avoid food\nparticles and sugar attaching to your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cleaning Your Teeth at the End of the Night<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to remember to brush your teeth once you get home.\nBrushing and flossing regularly helps prevent plaque and bacteria buildup\nunderneath the aligners. If you slack on your hygiene routine, it could cause\nyour oral health to decline and result in cavities and gum irritation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cleaning Your Aligners at the End of the Night<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you\u2019re ready to throw in the towel for the night and\nplop onto your bed, don\u2019t forget to clean your aligners to keep them from\ngetting smelly and prevent bacteria buildup. You can do this by using a special\nInvisalign cleaning solution, denture cleaner, or a 50\/50 mix of water and vinegar\nfor 15 minutes. This will keep them from becoming cloudy and sanitize them. In\naddition to soaking, you\u2019ll want to gently brush them using clear\nanti-bacterial soft-soap. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking care of your Invisalign trays will ensure that your\noral health is up-to-par and can reduce your risk of developing cavities or\ninfections during your treatment. If you have any questions or would like additional\ntips on how to keep your mouth healthy while undergoing treatment, be sure to\nvisit your dentist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At McComb Family Dental, we have 3 fantastic dentists that have\ncollective dozens of decades of experience.
