My coach won&#8217;t let me play without a mouthguard, and my mom says she didn&#8217;t pay for Invisalign for it to sit in my gym bag. Is there a way to work this out? Can I use the Invisalign as a mouthguard?<\/p>\n<p>Reginald B. &#8211; Kansas<\/p>\n<p>Reginald,<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s great to see you&#8217;re being so responsible and taking steps to get the information you need. Both your mom and your coach should be very proud of you.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t use your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regiondental.com\/tulsa-invisalign\/\">Invisalign<\/a> aligners as a mouthguard. It&#8217;s not designed to absorb shock the way a sports mouthguard does. You will have a damaged mouth&#8230;and fewer teeth. There is a way to make it work. First, let your dentist know what&#8217;s going on so he can adjust your treatment accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>Next, make sure you keep your aligner&#8217;s case with you at all times, even at football practice and games. When you&#8217;re not practicing keep your aligners on. Games are a little trickier because they last for so long. You don&#8217;t want to leave them out the entire game. Keep the case with you. When you&#8217;re not playing, put them in. When you are playing, take them out.<\/p>\n<p>Other than that, just be sure the only other time they&#8217;re out is to eat and to clean your teeth.<\/p>\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regiondental.com\">Dr. Ryan Noah<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I need to make my mom and my football coach happy.
