Are Clear Aligners Safe?
In today’s world of modern orthodontics, clear aligners have become the gold standard for patients seeking a more comfortable, discreet, and precise way to straighten their teeth. But one of the most common questions patients ask is: “Are aligners safe?” The answer is a resounding yes—thanks to over two decades of medical innovation, regulatory approval, and proven clinical results. At the heart of this transformation is a material that’s been rigorously tested, FDA-approved, and trusted by millions.
Made From FDA-Approved, Medical-Grade Plastic
Clear aligners such as Invisalign are made from a proprietary, medical-grade plastic that has passed extensive safety testing by regulatory bodies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This plastic is:
✅ Free from BPA, BPS, latex, and gluten
✅ Non-toxic and biocompatible
✅ Durable and flexible
✅ Specifically engineered for orthodontic use
The goal? To offer a material that is gentle on the gums and teeth, yet strong enough to apply the right amount of pressure to move teeth into alignment—without the risks or discomfort associated with metal braces.
Backed by 25 Years of Clinical Experience
With 25 years of experience using clear aligner technology in clinical practice, Dr. Bak Nguyen has seen firsthand how transformative and reliable this method is. The precision it offers is one of its greatest strengths. Unlike traditional braces, which rely on manual wire adjustments, clear aligners work by digitally mapping every step of your treatment in advance. Each set of aligners is carefully crafted to make slight, controlled adjustments to your teeth, ensuring predictable, gradual, and pain-free movement.
Trusted by Over 11 Million Smiles Worldwide
As of today, over 11 million people have used Invisalign aligners to enhance their smiles. That’s not just a statistic—it’s a testament to the trust, safety, and results this technology delivers.
Whether you’re correcting crowding, closing gaps, or improving your bite, Invisalign and similar systems provide consistent, repeatable outcomes across a wide range of cases. You’re not just getting plastic trays—you’re getting a system built on decades of data and innovation.
Why Aligners Are a Safe and Smart Choice
Here’s why more people than ever are choosing clear aligners:
✅ Clinically Proven
Years of real-world use, research studies, and clinical trials have confirmed the effectiveness and safety of aligner therapy for mild to complex orthodontic cases.
✅ Customized for You
Each aligner set is custom-designed for your unique dental anatomy, meaning the treatment is not only safer—it’s more efficient and more comfortable.
✅ Monitored by Experts
Throughout your treatment, you’ll be guided by a licensed dental professional, ensuring that each phase is progressing smoothly and safely.

Aligners eliminate the metal brackets and wires that often cause irritation, bleeding, or emergency visits—making them an ideal solution for busy professionals, teens, and adults.
