I just got my 1st Invisalign. I read articles about how some plastic contains DEHP that causes health problems in Asia. As Invisalign is made of plastic I wonder if it contains harmful material such as DEHP. Please advice ingredient it is made up. Thanks.

Invisalign is DEHP--free!
I understand your concern and not to worry, Invisalign is made out of medical grade plastic. This means it meets FDA requirements and contains DEHP--free materials. DEHP is mainly used for forming PVC and is found in other general purpose plastics. Studies show there are certain risks associated with DEHP and so it is a good question to ask and keep informed about.
Thank you for asking!

Does Invisalign contain DEHP
THanks for your question but nothing to worry about. Invisalign trays do not contain DEHP, they are DEHP free.
