Re: Taking meds with invisalign?

I think if you can swallow the pill whole it's okay. I can't imagine there'd be a problem with a sublingual dissolving pill either unless there's a LOT of dyes in it.

Invisalign Started Today

So long time lurker here... first time poster. I knew I needed braces since high school but there wasn't the money and it definitely wasn't a priority for my family.
