This is one good reason why we recommend drinking only flat water with aligners on your teeth. The acidic pH levels of carbonated water can do damage to your enamel.

A big key to success with Invisalign treatment is wearing the aligners 22 hours each day. That's an 11-to-1 ratio of aligners moving teeth forward vs. allowing them to drift.

With disciplined aligner wear you will greatly increase your chances of a great result in less time!
