‘It’s funny how much speculation there’s been about something as simple as my aligners,’ Mahomes joked. ‘Invisalign is a product that has made a real difference for me personally, and I wanted to pᴀss that along to others, so the partnership came together pretty naturally.’
‘I’ve been using their product for a while because it’s helped me feel more confident without it being too noticeable or affecting my day-to-day routine,’ he continued.
‘When we started talking, it just made sense to team up and share that story. It’s great to work with a brand that aligns with who I am and helps me inspire others to feel good about themselves, too.’
