Is there certain liquids i can't drink with my clear retainer?

Question

what kind of drinks can i drink? can i drink soda? iced tea? coffee? orange juice or kool aid?

i didn't ask my orthodontist because i forgot and i'm afraid to drink some iced tea because i don't know if sugar will mess my retainers up?

Answer 1

you're supposed to take them out when you eat/drink

Answer 2

Of course, they are always going to tell you to avoid sugar, but I would stay away from anything acidic like soda (even lemon lime, because although it's clear it has more citric acid) teas and coffees.  Water is always fine.  And as another poster said, you may have the kind that is removable and if so, just eat, drink, brush, and put the retainer back in!
