Eating spicy foods with Invisalign aligners is generally acceptable, but be sure to rinse your aligners thoroughly after eating.

Titanium is biocompatible, allowing it to fuse with bone and serve as a strong root for the replacement tooth.
Potential causes include cavities, gum disease, impacted teeth, infections, tooth fractures, or temporomandibular joint disorders.
Dental implants are made from biocompatible materials like titanium, reducing the risk of rejection. Implant rejection is extremely rare, but proper care and oral hygiene are essential to ensure implant success.
