Is it okay to get teeth whitened before starting invisalign?

Q. Is it a bad idea to get your teeth whitened just before you start invisalign treatment, or is this okay to do?

A. It would be better to whiten your teeth after your teeth have been straightened.

If the teeth are overlapped or very crossed over, the whitening gel may not evenly touch the entire front surface of the tooth and it may result in a difference in whiteness on a front tooth.
