Yes… Invisalign is safe for your gums. In situation of teeth crowding or even teeth spacing, Invisalign will not only straighten your teeth but also aid in helping keeping your gums clean and healthy. Please remember to always go in for your regular dental exams and teeth cleanings at least 2 to 3 times per year.
Invisalign is safe for your gums as long as your gums are currently healthy and don’t have any active periodontal disease. You should have an evaluation by your dentist prior to beginning your Invisalign treatment to ensure that your teeth and gums are healthy. Also, it is recommended that you do your Invisalign through an actual Orthodontist who has specialized training to move your teeth safely.
