Unlike braces, your Invisalign aligners can be removed. This helps facilitate cleaning, which leads to better health.  However, if you don’t wear them, they won’t work.  If you don’t wear them enough, they won’t work well.  We find that most patients can eat any diet they choose during treatment.  It takes about a week to get used to this.  However, we do recommend you stay away from curry, turmeric, and yellow mustard since they irreversibly stain the trays.  If you must enjoy foods that cause this stain, we recommend you do so on the last day of that tray.  This means you don’t need to restrict your diet habits, just as long as you wear your trays for 24 hours a day.
