On the one hand, if you\u2019ve been taking good care of them, the clear plastic won\u2019t interfere with your costume aesthetic. On the other hand, there\u2019s the whole \u201ceating candy\u201d part of this tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, there are ways you can enjoy Halloween without compromising your Invisalign treatment progress. Before you consider leaving your aligners in their case during Trick or Treat, read these tips!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoid Candy Grazing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Technically, you <em>can <\/em>eat whatever candy you want with Invisalign. However, you would have to remove and rinse your aligners each time you stopped to graze on a chocolate bar, which can quickly become tedious. Instead of enjoying your little treats periodically throughout the day, save them for a meal-time dessert. That way you won\u2019t constantly have to be taking out and cleaning your aligners!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plan Carefully for Parties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, if you\u2019re an adult with Invisalign, you might be more worried about, let\u2019s say more <em>mature <\/em>indulgences. It\u2019s important to wear your aligners for 22 hours every day so you don\u2019t delay your progress, which means you\u2019ll have to schedule your wear-time hours very carefully to make room for sipping cocktails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another good point to keep in mind is that colored liquids could stain your teeth and aligners. Be sure to rinse your mouth before re-inserting your Invisalign trays!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remember That You\u2019re Wearing Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It might seem obvious, but let\u2019s face it \u2013 when good times are rolling it\u2019s easy to get caught up in the moment. If Halloween fun makes you forget to think about your aligners, you could accidentally chomp down on a sugary snack while they\u2019re still on your teeth. Invisalign trays aren\u2019t exactly fragile, but your bite force is definitely strong enough to crack the plastic. It might be a good idea to have a friend or two help you remember your aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Your Eye on The Prize<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, celebrating Halloween while undergoing an Invisalign treatment isn\u2019t too bad. The orthodontics won\u2019t look strange with your costume, you won\u2019t have to feel self-conscious, and your options for candy aren\u2019t restricted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might feel inconvenienced at times, and you might find yourself wishing that you could have your fun the way you usually do \u2013 but Halloween is just one day. A straight, beautiful smile will last you a lifetime. Keep your eye on the prize, and when all is said and done, you\u2019ll be able to appreciate your evened-out teeth and enjoy your next Halloween even more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dedicateddentistrylakewood.com\/meet-your-dentist.html\">Dr. Tavi Henry<\/a> earned his dental degree from the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine and is a certified Invisalign provider.
