What are Invisalign aligners made of?
Invisalign aligners are crafted from a medical-grade thermoplastic material called SmartTrack™. This material is:
- BPA-Free: Free from bisphenol-A, a chemical often found in plastics that has raised health concerns.
- Latex-Free: Safe for individuals with latex allergies.
- FDA-Approved: Complies with health and safety standards for medical devices.
SmartTrack™ is specifically designed for orthodontic use, offering durability, flexibility, and comfort.
Why is BPA-free important?
Bisphenol-A (BPA) is a chemical used in the production of certain plastics. Studies have shown that BPA can leak into food or beverages from containers made with the substance, potentially leading to health risks, including:
- Hormonal disruptions.
- Increased risk of certain cancers.
- Developmental issues in children.
By using BPA-free materials, Invisalign ensures that their aligners are safe for daily wear, even for extended periods.
How safe are Invisalign aligners?
Invisalign aligners are designed with your health and safety in mind. Here are some reasons why they are a secure choice for orthodontic treatment:
- Non-Toxic Materials: The materials used in Invisalign aligners do not release harmful chemicals.
- Custom Fit: Aligners are tailored to fit your teeth, minimising irritation or unnecessary pressure.
- Easy Maintenance: Cleaning your aligners regularly keeps them hygienic and safe for use.
How to care for your Invisalign aligners
To ensure your aligners remain safe and effective:
- Clean Daily: Rinse and brush your aligners gently with a non-abrasive cleaner.
- Avoid High Heat: Do not expose your aligners to hot water or direct sunlight, as this can distort the material.
- Store Properly: Keep your aligners in their case when not in use to maintain their shape and hygiene.
