Can I play sports or a musical instrument with Invisalign?
4 September 2023
Playing sports or musical instruments with Invisalign? Here’s what you need to know about balancing your interests with your orthodontic treatment.
The Invisalign Advantage
Invisalign aligners are designed for convenience. Their removable nature allows you to engage in activities without hindrance.
Playing Sports with Invisalign
- No Impact on Performance: Invisalign aligners won’t affect your sports performance. They are comfortable and won’t hinder your movements.
- Protection: Aligners can act as a protective barrier for your teeth, reducing the risk of oral injuries while playing sports.
- Removal During Play: For contact sports or activities requiring mouthguards, you can temporarily remove your aligners.
Pursuing Musical Passions
- Minimal Impact: Invisalign aligners have a minimal impact on your ability to play musical instruments.
- Adaptation Period: There might be a short adjustment phase as you get used to playing with aligners.
- Regular Practice: Consistent practice with aligners will help you adapt quickly and continue playing seamlessly.
Tips for Success
- Keep Aligners Clean: Maintain good oral hygiene to prevent aligner staining and ensure freshness during activities.
- Use Aligner Cases: Safely store your aligners when not in use to prevent loss or damage.
- Stay Hydrated: Keep a water bottle handy to stay hydrated, especially during long musical sessions or sports.

What Our Patients Say
Dr Nell is a fantastic dentist. Jolly, reassuring, and extremely knowledgeable. I am sad to be leaving and moving out of the area, as he and his team are outstanding.
Fantastic! Extremely welcoming and very friendly, great advice, very professional, sensible pricing. I’m a new customer and like many perhaps anxious moving to a new practice, but I felt completely at ease and comfortable throughout, it’s refreshing to have ‘old school’ service and logical advice. I can highly recommend these ladies and gents! 😁
Honestly after 10 years of never going to dentist due to fear, im so happy i came here after my sisters recommendation. Helena is amazing, she made me feel at ease, was very patient with me. Finally i can go to dentist without a complete meltdown.Thank you so much for helping me.
Fantastic from the moment I walked through the door. Made to feel welcome by the lovely ladies on reception. Sadaf done an amazing job and was so caring whilst doing the work, so pleased. Thank you!
Joined this new local dental practice on 10/5/23 and had my 6 monthly checkup with dentist, having previously filled out online health questionnaire & having had my dental history sent from previous practice. It was the most thorough checkup ever. Everyone was very caring & very professional. Very informative Dentist, charming dental nurse and friendly reception staff. Booked hygienist for the following week. Very impressed with my first visit. Its very local to me which is a bonus. Would definitely recommend the practice.Thank you Coniston.
Wonderfull dentist and hygenist services here.. used to come as a kid and after a recent visit with my mother with disability issues I have chosen to get back on their books.. Everyone from front of house through to the doctors has been so pleasant to deal with making what could possibly be something quite stressful nice and simple
