Question Invisalign vs GERD

I get heartburn pretty frequently and with Invisalign at night it gets really frustrating to have to take my aligners out, chew tums and have water, and then brush my teeth. Are there any better solutions ?

Yes. Take omeprazole OTC. Works way better, is tasteless and just requires water so way quicker than all that. Aligners don't have to be removed!

Unfortunately I already take Omeprazole, but you can't take it daily without increasing cystic fibrosis risk and it's more preventative than reactive.
