I’m getting Invisalign which I’m very excited about. My dentist also offers teeth whitening. It appears that the trays for teeth whitening and the trays for Invisalign are quite similar.

Dear Miranda,<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

I’ll start by telling you that, yes, your Invisalign aligners<\/a> can double as whitening trays. The caveat being, you need to make sure you’re a good candidate for teeth whitening<\/a>. I would not recommend just purchasing whitening gel online to use in the aligners, especially if this is your first time whitening your teeth.<\/p>\n

You’ll want to be under the observational care of your dentist during your first whitening because there are complications that could arise which you won’t know the warning signs for. He (or she) can spot them and take helpful steps before any complications become more serious.<\/p>\n

Secondly, you have no way of knowing whether the gel you’re purchasing is reputable or even equally strong as the gel your dentist can provide. Even worse, it could be material that will damage your teeth.<\/p>\n

Teeth Whitening Only Works on Natural Teeth<\/h2>\n

If you have dental work, such as fillings or dental crowns<\/a>, they will not whiten with the whitening gel. Instead, your teeth will whiten and the dental work will remain the same color. So, if they’re visible when you smile, you’ll want to replace them when the procedure is done. The same goes for dental bonding.<\/p>\n

You will likely find that once your Invisalign and Whitening are done, you will have a stunning smile. You’ll gain confidence and smile more. In turn, you’ll appear more positive and successful to others, which will bring you opportunities previously hidden.<\/p>\n

Also, keep your final pair of aligners. Keep them clean and stored carefully, then once a year or so, you can ask your dentist for another tube of whitening gel for a touch-up. Many dentists are willing to provide that if you keep up regularly with your cleanings and check-ups.<\/p>\n
