  • Can you eat normally with Invisalign?

    Hello! Yes, you can eat perfectly normal with Invisalign. I would not advise to drink dye beverages though as this will stain under the trays. You can also be careful when eating crunchy food, such as chewing on nuts, crunching ice, eating chicken bones.

  • What should a tooth extraction look like when healing?

    Hello, Thanks for your question. In normal conditions and without stitches, after an extraction, there is a lot of tissue reorganization. At first, the blood clots and there's inflammation, and this is why the tissue would look red. Next, the tissue starts to granulate and that's why there's a grayish color. Lastly, the tissue reorganizes and will look darker pink and not inflamed, and this is when the closure starts. READ MORE

  • What happens if you break your Invisalign tray?

  • Is a chipped tooth a dental emergency?
