Does Chlorine Stain Invisalign Aligners?

June 25th, 2014

Hi, I have a query about Invisalign. I swim professionally, and have been looking into using Invisalign to straighten my teeth. Would I be able to do this? I swim for a few hours every day, would I be able to keep the aligners in? My concern is they might get stained by the chlorine in the water. I’m seeing an orthodontist next week but I thought I’d ask for some advice from you before my consultation. Thank you.

Can I Still Swim If I’m Wearing Invisalign?

July 3rd, 2013

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!
