The use of teeth whitening products during Invisalign treatment should be discussed with your dentist or orthodontist. In some cases, teeth whitening can be done concurrently with Invisalign treatment, while in others, it may be recommended to whiten the teeth before starting the treatment. Your dental professional can guide you on the best approach based on your specific circumstances.
It’s generally not recommended to use teeth whitening products during Invisalign treatment. While Invisalign aligners are designed to be virtually invisible and resist staining, they can still be affected by teeth whitening agents. If you use whitening products while wearing your aligners, the area of your teeth covered by the aligners may not whiten evenly with the rest of your teeth.
This can result in uneven coloration when the treatment is completed. It’s best to discuss teeth whitening with your dentist or orthodontist. They can provide guidance on the timing and methods for whitening your teeth safely, both before you start Invisalign treatment and once it’s completed, to achieve the best and most uniform results.
