Will Invisalign Affect the Health of my Mouth?

I am concerned with the health of my mouth, and although I want straight teeth, and spent lots of $, I want to make sure that the aligners' flaws will not affect the health of my mouth. 1. Will the sharp edges and constant cutting and hitting of the aligner will affect my taste buds? 2. How safe is having this plastic in my mouth 24/7? 3. Will my teeth fall out with all the pulling out of the aligners? 4. Will the increased brushing and flossing damage my enamel or gums? Please help!
