Would teeth grinding hinder my Invisalign treatment?

Q. hiya My teeth are pretty crooked so i am thinking about getting invisalign. i also have a problem with teeth grinding. would this hinder my invisalign treatment and would invisalign helo in any way to reduce this grinding or at least mitigate the effects?,

A. Grinding your teeth is not a contra indication of having invisalign. If anything it should relieve the damage to your teeth.

  It should not be a problem I have treated many teeth grinders with Invisalign.
