Eating and cleaningQuestion before treatment

Can I eat and drink with my aligners in?

Answered byDr Ivelina Ivanova-Koycheva, Orthodontist (MSc)Master's degrees in orthodontics in Rome and in aligner treatment in Turin, international lecturerPublished on 12 November 2026

Aligners must be taken out whenever you eat, including for snacks between meals. The only drink you can have while they are in your mouth is water. All other drinks can stain the aligner material and spoil the way they look.

This answer is for general information. Your own case needs an examination by an orthodontist.
