Not if your driving: Alcohol, in and of itself, will not harm orthodontic treatment. But use normal precautions.

Safe?: Alcohol will not harm orthodontic appliances in our mouth. alcohol can desiccate your teeth making them more susceptible to fracture. It can also impair your judgement and your motor abilities, making you more likely to be involved in a traumatic incident. As they say, all things in moderation...
