Dating with Invisalign® Braces

If you’re considering getting Invisalign® braces, you may be wondering if they will interfere with your love life. Starting a new relationship can be daunting enough and adding Invisalign® into the mix may seem like a recipe for disaster.

But rest assured. The good news is that you can still date Invisalign® and won’t have to put your love life on hold. In fact, one of the big advantages of Invisalign® braces is that they’re much more discreet than traditional metal ones.

Let’s go over a few things you should know about dating Invisalign®.

You Can Still Kiss with Invisalign® Braces

One of the most common questions we get asked is, “Can you still kiss with Invisalign®?” The answer is yes! You can still kiss and do all the things you love to do. The great thing about Invisalign® is that they’re much more comfortable than traditional braces and easier to keep clean.

So, if you’re considering getting Invisalign®, don’t let the fear of dating stop you. With time, you’ll acclimate to wearing your aligners and feel more confident about them.

You Can Remove Invisalign® Braces When Eating

Another common concern is that you won’t be able to eat in front of your date with Invisalign®. While it’s true that you should avoid hard and sticky foods, you can remove your Invisalign® when eating. This means you can still enjoy your favorite foods on a date without worry.

Although it may be tempting to remove your Invisalign® for the duration of your date, you should avoid doing this. Once you remove them, it’s easy to forget to put them back in. And, if you leave them out for too long, your teeth can start to shift back into their original position.

So, if you’re on a date and want to enjoy some of your favorite foods, remember to put them back in. Keep your Invisalign® in for at least 20-22 hours daily to ensure that your treatment is effective.

A Word of Caution

Of course, as with anything new, there is a bit of a learning curve. When you first start wearing Invisalign®, you may find that your aligners feel bulky or uncomfortable.

But don’t worry, it gets easier with time. And, if you’re really struggling, there are Invisalign® attachments that can help your aligners grip your teeth better. These attachments are usually clear, so they’re not very noticeable. However, they can make your teeth a little sharp without your Invisalign® in. Therefore, it’s best to avoid kissing without your Invisalign® if you have attachments.

The Bottom Line

If you’re dating someone new, you may feel self-conscious about your Invisalign® at first. But remember that they’re just braces, and everyone goes through an adjustment period when they first start wearing them.

Overall, dating with Invisalign® is possible and doesn’t have to be a hassle. With time and patience, you won’t even notice them and will feel more confident about your smile.
