It is recommended that you remove your Invisalign aligners while engaging in physical activity. Although they are great for straightening your smile, they don't provide your teeth with the protection needed to keep them safe. Instead, you should place the aligners in their case and wear a custom-made mouth guard when you participate in any sports. Full contact sports such as rugby, hockey, polo and American football can be quite aggressive.
People who play these sports with their Invisalign aligners on can risk having them accidentally removed or even damaged. For even more aggressive sports, such as boxing, wrestling or martial arts, Invisalign should not be used at all. For these events, it's best to eliminate them before the competition or practice. When not in use, aligners should always be stored in a sturdy case.
