I have a clear retainer. Can I have clear sodas (sprite...) with it on?!

Question: I have a clear retainer.. Can I have clear sodas (sprite......) with it on.?
Answers:

It is possible but not really recommended - the soda can pool in the retainer so it's like a little acid bath for your teeth, causing erosion and decay.. If you do drink soda with your retainer on, make sure to rince your retainer afterwards..Health Question & Answer

I have a clear retainer too, i'm wearing it right now.. You can drink whatever you want with it in, it doesn't do anything to it.. If you drink cool aid it might change the color the cool aid is but you can always brush your retainer with a toothbrush and it will be the regular color again..

You should brush your retainer everyday because plaque gets stuck in the little ridges..

hope this helps

Wait......why would you be wearing it when you were drinking/eating anyway.? When I had retainers (yes, two) they only wanted me to wear them at night...... well, I don't know I guess different orthodontists have different ideas and stuff but no, Sprite won't alter it or anything.. Coke or Pepsi might but yeah as long as its clear its fine..Health Question & Answer
