Invisalign and  Me

Sex & Relationships

ATTENTION ALL: HAVING BRACES DOES NOT MEAN YOU PUT YOUR SEX LIFE ON HOLD.

 

Even metal braces. Yes. METAL. Don't be scared! There are ways around it. Here are a couple of questions that I was previously asked to answer regarding sex, relationships, and Invisalign, all neatly laid out here for you to peruse...

 

Invisalign and Sex

 

Can I have sex whilst wearing Invisalign?

 

Do bears poop in the woods? (In other words: YES. I give you full permission to have sex whilst your aligners are in. You raunchy fox, you!)

 

Can I give oral sex (head) whilst wearing Invisalign?

 

Yes, you may do so. There are many handy advantages to Invisalign in comparison to traditional metal braces (ouch, ouch, and ouch) in the sexytime department. One might say they even enrich the experience. Also, the plastic aligners provide a softer, smoother coating for your teeth, so they won’t be as sharp. Just saying. Juuuust saying...

 

Is it super unhygienic if I give head whilst wearing Invisalign?

 

 I can’t make any statements on how hygienic this would be but you can do pretty much anything sex-related whilst wearing Invisalign. Unless it involves weird stuff. Upon which I have no authority to speak. #thisaintnofiftyshades

 

Is it unhygienic to wear Invisalign during sex?

 

Well, you’re only swapping saliva and bodily fluids. What WOULD be unhygienic is if you were wearing Invisalign whilst deep-diving in a sewer. That would be absolutely disgusting. Keeping them in during sex is fine - in fact, I ADVOCATE IT. Wearing braces whilst love-making is a sign of a comfortable relationship. Kudos to you!

 

Does Invisalign affect your period?

 

Oh, Lord. Lordy Lord Lord Lord. (No, it does not.)

 

 

 

 

 

Invisalign and Relationships

 

How can I tell my partner that I’m starting Invisalign?

 

You break it to them gently and tell them the handy advantages of wearing Invisalign during sexytime that I mentioned above. For example, when I finally broke the news to my partner, naturally he was worried. But then I explained exactly what Invisalign looks like and feels like as opposed to regular braces, and his response was:

 

“Invisalign? More like Invisa-WIN!”

 

So he definitely got on-board with the whole Invisalign braces thing.

 

If your partner has any qualms about you wearing Invisalign (which is 1. Immature and 2. Not really their choice at all considering that it’s your body), remind them gently but forcefully that it’s YOUR choice to have Invisalign and that they should be supporting your decision. You can also sweetly say, “Would you prefer I get metal braces?” (*Evil laugh*)

 

How do I tell my boyfriend or girlfriend or the person I’m dating that I wear Invisalign braces?

 

Invisalign can be so subtle that they might not even notice it. Seriously. Unless they gaze adoringly into your mouth whilst you talk, laugh, and smile (creepy), it’s unlikely that they’ll suddenly realise you’re wearing Invisalign.

 

Maybe the best thing to do would be, next time you’re on a date sitting across from each other, pop your aligners out in front of them before the food arrives. Then they’ll be all, “Uh, what was that?” And you can be like “Oh, I have to take my aligners out before I eat. P. S. I wear Invisalign.” THERE. Two birds with one stone. I don’t know why I’m not getting paid the big bucks.

 

 

... STAY SAFE, KIDS!
