Should I Have My Teeth Whitened Before Or After Invisalign Treatment?

Q.
Hello, I’m just making a enquiry in regards to the invisalign system. Basically, my teeth are quite dull and I am planning on getting them whitened in the very near future. I also require invisible braces, I have a consultation next week basically I am suffering from some overcrowding and a slight cross bite. Just a heads up would be fantastic…should I have my teeth whitened before I get the braces or after? I want to ensure that I get the brightest possible smile but don’t want any marks left by the braces if I have them whitened beforehand. Do you know of any practices that offer free whitening with their brace treatments? I had a friend who had whitening with her braces but they don’t do it anymore…Thank you in advance!!

Hi.
I would normally advise patients to wait until after the teeth have been straightened just to ensure that all if the tooth surfaces are level and can be whitened evenly. I hope this helps and thank you for your question.
