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! Dr. Ayzin Dentistry @ its Finest

Does Invisalign contain DEHP

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