Q.
Hi I was just wondering if you could help me with something? I’m a professional swimmer and looking into straightening my teeth with invisalign. Would this system be suitable for me? I mean in terms of wearing them? It would be ideal for me to keep the aligners in but I swim every day, twice a day so how would I go about keeping the aligners in? Also, if I did keep them in are they likely to stain due to the chlorine? Just some general advice would be nice before I visit my orthodontist, I’d just like to gather some general tips and such. Thank you for your time!

Hi thank you for your question. Yes they would definitely be suitable and you can swim or train with them in without problems, not to mention they are probably the ‘thinnest’ and most comfortable brace. The only advice would be that they should be removed for sugary drinks; so you rehydration may need to be reviewed if you are having isotonic drinks or such like during the swim training.
Good luck
