Can I take my Invisalign out for a night out?

Yes, you can take out your Invisalign aligners on occasion for a special event. There’s no need to make any adjustments. You can go about your daily routine while straightening your teeth.

We are presenting some tips through which you can take care of your Invisalign while a night out: 

Get Them Out: Remember that you must wear your Invisalign for 20 to 22 hours per day, which means you can take them off only for the most critical situations! If you have a large meeting or event coming up, feel free to take out your aligners, store them properly, and then replace them as soon as feasible.

Take The Invisalign Hard Case With You: Keep your Invisalign trays in their hard protective case whenever they are not in your mouth to avoid mistakenly throwing them away or harming them. Damaged aligners might cause treatment delays, which will cost you additional time and money.

Drinks should be kept to a minimum: With your Invisalign trays in, you can drink water, but anything else will be too abrasive for the plastic. Furthermore, it may become caught between your tooth enamel and the trays, raising the risk of tooth decay. Before you drink that cocktail, take out your aligners and make it a light one. The pigments in red wine and black beer will stick to your teeth and may transfer to your aligners when you reinstall them. Drinking white wine or other white/clear liquids will help you avoid this.

Keep a glass of water in hand: Drinking water throughout the night will allow you to enjoy your evening without having to take out your aligners — or you can use it to clean your mouth if you don’t have time to brush your teeth before re-inserting them.

Follow these tips, or if you seek more information and guidance, you can schedule an appointment with your orthodontist.
