  Recommended foods for clear aligner patients are as follows:

  Tooth movement relies on the absorption and deposition of periodontal bone, and a balanced diet contributes to this process. If nutrition is unbalanced during clear aligner treatment, it may affect the treatment outcome, so dietary balance is especially important. Patients should eat more vegetables and fruits (note: apples should be cut into small pieces to avoid loosening the attachments), and supplement vitamins to reduce mouth ulcers and angular cheilitis. Many patients wearing aligners are more prone to mouth ulcers or cracked mouth corners due to the stimulation of the appliance. Therefore, clear aligner patients should consciously supplement adequate vitamins, and dietary therapy is the simplest and most effective method. Lemons, grapes, strawberries, mangoes, watermelon, tomatoes, cantaloupe, asparagus, broccoli, kale, spinach, and potatoes are all rich in vitamin C, so be sure to include them in your diet.

  Foods to avoid for clear aligner patients are as follows:

  Try to avoid sugary drinks such as cola, sprite, and juice. High-sugar foods should be minimized; common snacks like candy and cookies should be limited during treatment to prevent cavities. If you cannot resist, be sure to brush your teeth immediately afterward. Hard foods should be avoided, such as sugarcane, ribs, crab, popsicles, chicken legs, beef jerky, and snacks with pits or shells, as these require significant force to bite or chew, which can loosen the aligners or deform the wire, affecting tooth movement. Sticky foods should also be avoided, such as maltose, rice cakes, glutinous rice products, chewing gum, and chewy candies, as they can stick to the aligners and wires, causing displacement.
