Over the years, fans have spotted the reigning Super Bowl MVP chewing on a mysterious mouthguard during NFL games.
As theories about his mysterious mouthpiece float around, Mahomes recently revealed how his latest partnership helps him with a dental condition.
Speaking to Adweek, Mahomes announced his endorsement deal with Invisalign.
‘After many years of speculation, I figured it was finally time to set the record straight, and many of you were right … I am a proud user of Invisalign,’ Mahomes said.
‘As an athlete, I’m always focused on optimizing my performance and health, so when it came time for me to choose how to improve my smile, it was clear that Invisalign aligners were the right choice for me over traditional braces. I’m excited to officially join Team Invisalign.’

While his dental history remains under wraps, Mahomes famously had a gap between his teeth in his early years in the NFL.
After quietly fixing the condition, Mahomes cashed in on partnering with Invisalign and praised the product for how much it’s helped him.
‘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 pass 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.’
