What Sports Allow Me to Wear Invisalign?
Invisalign aligners can be worn during most sports activities, including:
- No-Contact Sports: Invisalign aligners are perfect for no-contact sports such as swimming, running, tennis, and golf. Whether swimming laps, running a marathon, or practicing your dance routine, you can do so knowing that your Invisalign aligners are in place.
- Low-Contact Sports: For low-contact sports such as baseball, softball, volleyball, soccer, skating, and gymnastics, Invisalign aligners can also be worn without problems. The aligners offer a secure fit and won’t fall out or become dislodged during play.
- Individual Sports: Individual sports such as weightlifting, martial arts, boxing, and fencing can also be performed with Invisalign aligners in place. The aligners provide a protective barrier for your teeth and won’t affect your performance.
For high-contact sports like football and hockey, Dr. Grussmark may advise removing your aligner and wearing a protective mouthguard to shield your teeth from injury while out on the field.
Clear Aligners for Athletes of All Ages
Whether you’re a student-athlete just starting or an experienced athlete who wants to improve your smile, Invisalign aligners can help you achieve the perfect set of teeth while participating in the sports you love. For young athletes, Invisalign Teen is specifically designed for teenagers and is made with a blue dot wear indicator that lets you know when it’s time to switch to a new aligner. Invisalign Teen also has compliance indicators that let your orthodontist know if you’re wearing the aligners as recommended.
