Specializes in Orthodontics

Yes You Can: Because Perio Protect is only used a few minutes a day, you can remove the Invisalign aligner and place the Perio Protect tray.

PP is not needed: Proper upkeep and good oral hygiene are essential in keeping your teeth and gums healthy during Invisalign treatment. If done thoroughly, no Perio Protect is needed.
