Is Getting a Whiter Smile with Invisalign Possible?

The simple answer is YES, it is possible to get a whiter smile with Invisalign. The Invisalign system uses clear plastic aligners that are practically invisible. They are also removable, making it easy to brush and floss your teeth thoroughly. As a result, you can achieve a whiter smile with Invisalign by following a few simple steps. As a matter of fact, teeth whitening is a great treatment to undergo with Invisalign so you can achieve a full smile makeover. Many orthodontic offices that offer Invisalign also offer teeth whitening treatments. And since you will need to meet with your orthodontist every few weeks for Invisalign check-ups, that’s when they can also perform a tooth whitening treatment on you as well. This makes it easier for you to get a whiter smile with Invisalign since you’re already at the orthodontist’s office.

Here are some of the simplest yet best options to achieve a whiter smiler with invisalign

#1 - Invisalign professional whitening system

The Invisalign professional whitening system powered by Opalescence is a great way to achieve whiter teeth with Invisalign while you’re wearing the aligners. The treatment involves using custom-fit mouth trays and a powerful whitening gel. The gel is placed in the trays, which are then worn over the teeth. The gel works to penetrate the teeth and break up any existing stains or discoloration.

Invisalign professional whitening treatment is typically done over the course of two weeks, with each session lasting 30 minutes. The results are usually noticeable after just one treatment, though you may need additional sessions to achieve your desired level of whiteness.

Ask your Invisalign provider if they are also offering the Invisalign professional whitening system along with the treatment.

#2 - At - home teeth whitening kit

If you’d prefer to whiten your teeth at home, there are at-home teeth whitening kits available that can be used with Invisalign. These kits come with custom-fit mouth trays and a powerful whitening gel. The gel is placed in the trays, which are then worn over the teeth for 30 minutes to an hour.

At-home teeth whitening kits typically require multiple treatment sessions to achieve the desired level of whiteness. However, the results are usually noticeable after just one treatment.

#3 - in office teeth whitening treatment

If you want whiter teeth faster, you can opt for in-office teeth whitening treatment. This treatment is done by a professional dentist or orthodontist and involves using a powerful whitening gel. The gel is applied to the teeth and activated with a special light. In-office teeth whitening treatment is usually done over the course of one to two hours, and the results are immediate. You will likely need multiple treatment sessions to achieve your desired level of whiteness.
