Teeth turning yellow with Invisalign can occur due to a few reasons:Plaque Buildup: Invisalign aligners can trap plaque against your teeth, leading to discoloration if not cleaned properly.Staining Foods and Drinks: Consuming foods and drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, and berries can stain your teeth over time, even when wearing Invisalign.Poor Oral Hygiene: If you're not brushing and flossing regularly and effectively, this can lead to yellowing of teeth.Invisalign Cleaning: Not cleaning your Invisalign aligners properly can lead to discoloration and bacteria buildup, which can transfer to your teeth.To prevent yellowing, it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly, cleaning your Invisalign aligners as directed by your orthodontist, and avoiding foods and drinks that can stain your teeth.
There can be many reasons why teeth change color during Invisalign some might be from foods or drinks. Or from plaque or bacteria.
The most probable cause is staining from drinks like tea or coffee. While wearing the aligners drink only water.
Staining teeth can happen with or without Invisalign.
Check with your dentist or orthodontist to figure out the cause of the staining.
