At Advanced Dental Care of Twin Falls, we understand that choosing Invisalign is not just about straightening your smile—it’s about convenience, discretion, and lifestyle compatibility. One of the most common questions patients ask is, “Are there any restrictions on what I can eat while in Invisalign treatment?” The short answer? Not in the traditional sense.
While many assume aligners must be removed before eating, our patients eat with their trays in, thanks to a unique approach pioneered through Dr. Brian Rencher’s mentorship and patented technology with Dr. David Galler. This technique allows for an easier, more efficient treatment journey—with fewer food limitations than most expect.
In this in-depth blog, we’ll explore the eating experience during Invisalign treatment, how our approach differs, what foods are best during treatment, and how Dr. Rencher and the Advanced Dental team elevate Invisalign care for patients across Jerome, Burley, Rupert, Pocatello, Boise, and beyond.
What Sets Invisalign Treatment at Advanced Dental Care of Twin Falls Apart?
Before diving into food-specific guidance, it’s important to understand how Invisalign treatment care Dr. Brian Rencher provides differs from standard practices.
- Eat with Trays In: Unlike many providers who recommend removing aligners while eating, we encourage patients to keep them in. This is possible due to Dr. Rencher’s mentorship with Dr. Galler, who has helped develop a special patented technique.
- Accelerated Treatment Times: At Advanced Dental, aligners are typically changed every four days—not every one to two weeks like most offices. This allows our patients to see results in as little as 6–9 months.
- Virtual Checkups: We are proud to be among the very few offices in Idaho offering virtual progress monitoring through the Invisalign app. Just snap a quick selfie and send us your update! We’ll let you know if everything looks on track or if an in-office visit is needed.
- Platinum Invisalign Provider: With a proven track record and hundreds of successful Invisalign cases, our practice has earned Platinum Invisalign Provider 2024 status—a distinction awarded to top-tier providers nationwide.
- 5-Star Rated on Google: Our commitment to patient satisfaction shows in the hundreds of glowing reviews we’ve received.
If you’re wondering whether you can enjoy your favorite meals while enhancing your smile, you’re in the right hands with Dr. Brian Rencher and the Advanced Dental team.
Discover What You Can Eat During Invisalign Treatment Dr. Brian Rencher
Because our patients eat with trays in, the range of foods you can enjoy during Invisalign treatment is broad. That said, certain adjustments can help maintain your aligners’ clarity and keep treatment progressing smoothly.
Best Practices for Eating with Invisalign Trays In
Eating with trays in is safe and effective when done as directed. Here’s how we advise our patients:
- Cut Foods Into Smaller Pieces: This reduces pressure on the aligners and makes chewing easier.
- Opt for Softer Foods When Possible: Think pasta, eggs, yogurt, steamed vegetables, fish, and rice. These are easy to chew and reduce stress on your aligners.
- Drink Water Frequently: Staying hydrated helps flush food particles and reduces plaque buildup inside your trays.

The Importance of Consistency: Why Eating with Aligners In Works
The beauty of this approach lies in consistency. By keeping your trays in while eating:
- You maximize wear time (which is key to fast results).
- You avoid forgetting to reinsert aligners—a common problem that delays progress.
- You maintain the momentum of tooth movement, day and night.
And because Dr. Rencher has extensive experience and special training—recently inducted as a Fellow of the American Academy of Clear Aligners (AACA), one of fewer than 100 globally—you can trust that your treatment is guided by one of the most knowledgeable clear aligner experts in the world.
Invisalign Treatment Care Dr. Brian Rencher Recommends
Here’s what daily Invisalign care looks like under our unique approach:
- Brush after meals to prevent staining and reduce buildup inside trays.
- Rinse aligners throughout the day with cold water.
- Use an aligner cleaning system or gentle soap—never hot water or harsh chemicals.
