Protect Yourself
ACTIONABLESettings and actions you can take to limit your exposure
Never Submit Photos, Reviews, or Feedback
Their content license only applies to things you actively submit. Avoiding submissions protects your content, name, and likeness from being licensed away exclusively and permanently.
- Do not use any feedback forms, review submissions, photo upload tools, or comment sections on Invisalign.com
- If you need to communicate with Invisalign, use their direct customer support phone or email rather than on-site submission tools
- Avoid sharing personal photos in any web portal associated with Invisalign.com
Opt Out of SMS Text Messages
Signing up for SMS alerts grants broad authorization for robocalls and auto-dialing. Opt out to revoke this consent.
- Text STOP to 33017 from the phone number you registered
- Alternatively, reply STOP to any text message received from Invisalign
- Confirm you receive a confirmation message; if not, text HELP to 33017 for support contact info
Do Not Provide Your Phone Number Unless Necessary
Providing your cell number triggers automatic consent to robocalls and pre-recorded messages — withhold it if you don't want that.
- When filling out any Invisalign web form, leave the phone number field blank if it is optional
- Use a secondary or Google Voice number if a phone number is required but you want to limit contact
- Check any account profile settings and remove your phone number if it was previously entered
Bookmark and Periodically Check the Terms of Use Page
Since terms can change with just 30 days' website notice, monitoring the page is your only way to catch changes before they bind you.
- Bookmark https://www.invisalign.com/terms-of-use
- Use a free website change monitor service (e.g., Visualping or Distill) to alert you when the page content changes
- Review any changes before the 30-day effective date to understand new obligations
