If you are on holiday with your children and they are undergoing Invisalign treatment, you will surely have doubts more than once about what they can and can't eat. The rule says that whenever they have to eat, they must be removed. If you drink something that stains, you also have to remove them from the mouth; but of course, what about products like yoghurt, which are almost liquid and do not stain the teeth because they are white?
Yes, the question of what to do with yoghurt is one that we get asked a lot. Our advice is to always remove the Invisalign if you are going to eat yoghurt. It is true that it does not have the same danger as other food. We don't recommend eating with the invisible braces on because you may suffer a little crack when chewing or because of the hardness of the food. However, what you do with yoghurt is almost gobble it down.
In any case, Yoghurt often contains sugars that could lead to damage to Invisalign. You will also have to remove it afterwards, so remove it beforehand. A problem that is associated with to let you eat with Invisalign some products and not others is that we can become too permissive, ending up eating almost anything with them on. So our advice is to take off your invisible braces if you are going to eat yoghurt.
We do not recommend eating yoghurt in any form with Invisalign.
But what if the yoghurt is liquid? Our recommendation is the same. Whether it is solid or drinkable, it is a food that usually contains sugars, so it is not advisable to drink it with them in it. The only thing you can drink with Invisalign is water, everything else, the best thing to do is to take it away. If, for whatever reason, your Invisalign should suffer any damagePlease contact us. Depending on where you are in your treatment, you will either need to use an auxiliary sheath or switch to the next one.
