Should I leave teeth whitening until invisalign is complete?

Q. Is it best to leave teeth whitening until invisalign treatment is started and complete or can I do it now. Just thinking, my teeth are probably more likely to get stained during invislaign, are they?

A. Personally I feel it is best to leave the whitening until the end of the treatment when the teeth are all straight.

If would strongly advise you NOT to whiten your teeth if you have attachments on them as the tooth underneath the attachments will not whiten.

Your are not more likely to get stained during Invisalign as you remove the aligners during eating and drinking and you should brush your teeth afterwards.
