As a specialist in cosmetic dentistry and restorative procedures at Professors Dental Clinic, I’m often asked about combining teeth whitening with Invisalign treatment. Let’s explore this topic in detail and discuss the best approaches to achieving a straighter, brighter smile.
Understanding Invisalign and Teeth Whitening
Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment that uses clear aligners to straighten teeth. While Invisalign primarily focuses on alignment, many patients are also interested in improving the color of their teeth. The good news is that it’s possible to whiten your teeth while using Invisalign, but there are some important considerations to keep in mind.
Can You Whiten Your Teeth with Invisalign?
Yes, you can whiten your teeth while wearing Invisalign aligners, but the method and timing are crucial:
- At-home whitening: Some patients use whitening gels in their Invisalign trays. However, this method isn’t typically recommended as it can lead to uneven results and potential irritation.
- Professional whitening: It’s best to undergo professional whitening treatments either before starting Invisalign or after completing your Invisalign treatment.
- Whitening toothpaste: Using a whitening toothpaste during your Invisalign treatment can help maintain or slightly improve tooth color.

Other Teeth Whitening Options
While whitening with Invisalign is possible, there are more effective options available:
- Laser Teeth Whitening: At Professors Dental Clinic, we offer state-of-the-art laser teeth whitening. This treatment is fast, safe, and provides dramatic results in just one session. Our professional laser whitening service costs 4000 Egyptian pounds and is an excellent option for those seeking quick, noticeable improvements.
- Take-home whitening kits: Professional-grade kits provided by your dentist can be used before or after Invisalign treatment.
- In-office bleaching: Traditional in-office whitening treatments can be scheduled between Invisalign treatments or after completion.
Can Invisalign Cause Your Teeth to Fall Out?
This is a common concern, but I can assure you that Invisalign will not cause your teeth to fall out when used correctly. Invisalign is a safe and effective orthodontic treatment. However, it’s crucial to follow your dentist’s instructions and maintain good oral hygiene throughout the treatment.
How Do You Clean Your Invisalign Retainer?
Proper cleaning of your Invisalign aligners is essential for both oral health and the effectiveness of the treatment:
- Rinse aligners every time you remove them.
- Brush aligners gently with a soft toothbrush and clear, antibacterial soap.
- Soak aligners in Invisalign cleaning crystals or a denture cleaner.
- Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic.
- Never eat or drink (except water) with aligners in place.
Comprehensive Smile Makeover at Professors Dental Clinic
At Professors Dental Clinic, we understand that many patients desire both straight and white teeth. While we don’t offer Invisalign treatment, we provide comprehensive smile makeover solutions that can dramatically improve both the alignment and color of your teeth. Here’s how we typically approach this:
Initial Consultation: We assess your dental health and discuss your goals for both alignment and color. We’ll explain the options available for addressing any alignment issues and how these can be combined with our whitening services.
Teeth Straightening Solutions: While we don’t offer Invisalign, we can discuss alternative orthodontic options or cosmetic procedures like veneers that can improve the appearance of tooth alignment.
Laser Teeth Whitening: Once any alignment issues have been addressed, or in conjunction with other treatments, we perform our professional laser whitening treatment. This service, priced at 4000 Egyptian pounds, provides fast, safe, and reliable results.
This approach ensures that we address both the alignment and color of your teeth, giving you a beautifully transformed smile. Our goal is to provide you with a comprehensive treatment plan that meets your specific needs and desires.
For patients specifically interested in Invisalign, we can provide referrals to trusted orthodontists in our network. After completion of orthodontic treatment elsewhere, patients can return to us for our professional laser whitening service to put the finishing touches on their new smile.
Conclusion
While it’s possible to whiten teeth during Invisalign treatment, the most effective approach is often to complete your Invisalign treatment first, followed by professional whitening. At Professors Dental Clinic, we’re committed to helping you achieve your ideal smile. Our laser teeth whitening service can provide bright teeth that boost your confidence.
Remember, every smile is unique, and what works best for one person may not be ideal for another. That’s why we always recommend a personalized consultation to determine the best treatment plan for your specific needs and goals.
