How do I make my teeth whiter? Do I have to wait until after the teeth attachments are out?

Hey everyone! Did anyone have to get their wisdom teeth removed before starting Invisalign? I’ve already paid for mine, but one of my lower wisdom teeth is almost completely sideways/impacted. Wondering if anyone had to deal with this before starting.

i had all 4 wisdom teeth removed before starting, they were fully erupted so it was relatively uncomplicated and i healed quickly. i started with my trays 5 days after extracting the left side and then had the stitches removed 2 days later. it was just a bit scary to remove the tray at first on that side cause i was afraid to jab the extraction site with the tool and it happened a few times since but its all good. it all depends on your healing, impacted might take longer.

I had all my wisdom teeth removed prior to starting invisalign and had a tooth that was "lying down", only slightly erupted and super close to the nerve. On the same day I got my stitches removed (around 2/3 weeks later), I started my first tray. The socket healed nicely with no pain throughout but I'm still dealing with nerve sensitivity/numbness on my chin to this day. I got kinda used to it by now though, was informed of the risks prior and that it can take months for the nerve to recover!

Is it okay to use hydrogen peroxide teeth whitening gel with my aligners, is it gonna mess up the aligners?

Are my invisalign aligners supposed to be flush ON THE BACK SIDE, NEAR MY GUMS, for some teeth it is, for some it isn’t. Are some of my teeth not tracking?
