Can I consume alcohol with braces?

Alcoholic beverages with high pigment content (e.g., red wine) stain the elastic elements in the mouth and plaque on the enamel. Also, the sugar found in some alcogol drinks can lead to bacterial growth and the development of tooth decay. Otherwise, alcogol can't directly affect your braces.

Remember, alcohol consumption is prohibited for patients under 18 years of age and is harmful to your health.
