That’s why Tate says her smile journey with Invisalign treatment has been a game-changer. Invisalign treatment offers Tate the perfect balance of convenience and effectiveness, helping her maintain her radiant smile on the go. We recently caught up with Tate herself to chat touring, confidence, and all things Invisalign treatment.


Invisalign Team: Hi, Tate! We’re so excited to be here with you, especially since you’ve been busy touring these days! First question, what has been your favorite moment from your world tour so far?

Tate McRae: I just started the U.S. leg like a couple days ago and I did my first ever hometown show, which is so fun. But all of Europe was incredible. Barcelona and Paris were my favorite shows of all time, so it's very cool to travel there and see that. 

Invis: How does it feel to have like thousands of people singing your lyrics back to you?   

TM: It's the craziest feeling. I feel very lucky to be able to do this as my job and well I mean, I love my fans. It's really like I'm friends with all of them. It's very cool.

Invis: You’ve been very outspoken on finding confidence. Can you share more about what confidence means to you?

TM: I think confidence is just being yourself and feeling genuine and authentic in whatever you do, whatever your passion is. But also, it's about feeling good about whatever you're doing. Like, since I started using Invisalign aligners, I feel like I feel way more confident in my smile. It can be so scary to be in a position where you're putting yourself and your face out there. I think just when I feel my best is when I perform my best.

Invis: Obviously you’re an incredible performer. How do you prepare to feel your best for your performance?

TM: I definitely do a lot of working out and vocal training before a tour. But alone time and self-care is also super important. On tour, you’re constantly around so many people, but I can center myself best when I’m alone. That self-care element comes into how I approach taking care of my skin, my body, and my smile. So honestly, Invisalign treatment has become a big part of my pre-tour routine! When I'm performing, my favorite thing to do is laugh and smile and have a good time on stage. Performing has just been such a passion of mine since I was a little kid. And I think ever since I started in Invisalign aligners, I’ve felt super confident in my smile. I think just confidence feels like it radiates out of you when you feel like your smile is good.

Invis: Who inspires you?   

TM: So many people inspire me. I would say [Spanish singer] Rosalía is a big inspiration of mine. She’s so incredible, just such a passionate and creative performer. Sometimes I literally watch some of her performances before I go on stage, they just give me such a confidence boost.

Invis: What's one piece of advice you give to young singers starting out on their own journey?

TM: Be yourself, and don't doubt yourself. I’ve been doing this since I was 13, and it feels like whenever I've listened to unsolicited advice or other peoples’ opinions, that’s always when I've gone in the wrong direction. I think you always know, deep down, what’s best for you. So take the time to actually listen to yourself. You know where you want to be, and you know exactly who you are.

Invis: So why did you choose Invisalign treatment over braces?   

TM: Honestly, it was the obvious choice! I'm on the road so much, and Invisalign aligners are just way more convenient and way more comfortable. The whole process feels really easy. Half the time I don’t even realize I’m wearing my aligners, but when I take stock of how I’m feeling, I realize I’ve felt so much more confidence since I started treatment. Invisalign treatment has completely transformed my smile. I can do anything in my Invisalign aligners: I can sing, I can do interviews, I can go about my day and not have to worry about it all. And on top of that, they really do straighten your teeth so fast. Now, I want to smile more! I used to never want to smile with my mouth open, but now I actually want to smile.

Invis: How long have you had Invisalign aligners?   

TM: I think I started Invisalign treatment a couple of months ago, and it's been great so far. Not painful. Super comfortable and easy.

Invis: How do you keep up with Invisalign treatment while on tour?   

TM: It’s so easy, so unintrusive to my tour schedule and routines. I just carry my aligners around in my little case, which is so cute. I keep it in my bag, so I can just pop them in and out whenever I need to.

Invis: What piece of advice would you give to your fans who are thinking about starting their own Invisalign journey? 

TM: Don’t put the aligners in napkins when you take them out to eat! You will lose them! I've done that many times, oh my gosh. Just keep your aligner case with you and you’ll be all good. Other than that there's not much to say. It's a super easy treatment, and I feel like I never even realize what I have them in. But yeah, just never put them in a napkin.

Invis: Okay, here are a couple questions from Instagram. First, how would you describe your latest album in three words? 

TM: Very personal, dynamic, and mature. I feel like it’s grown up with me. When I released it, I felt like it was a big jump from the album before that. I was growing up, and I think you can feel it in my writing.

Invis: Next, who is your favorite artist growing up?  

TM: Obviously being a dancer my whole life, Britney Spears was a huge inspiration. I grew up watching all her awards show performances and tour shows. So, Britney, all the way. 

Invis: What is your current favorite song?   

TM: I can’t choose one song, but I will say that I can’t stop listening to Gracie Abrams’s album.

Invis: And finally, do you ever sing with your own Invisalign aligners on?  

TM: I do! I actually don't notice a difference at all. Sometimes I’ll just have them in and kind of forget about them, and just go about my day. I’ve definitely had so many days on tour when do my little morning routine, put them in, and then we’ll do soundcheck, do the show, I’ll meet fans, and I’ll realize I’ve had them in the whole time. They’re just so convenient. Really the perfect choice for me.
