After 3 Weeks Of Invisalign I’m Still In Pain, Is Something Wrong With My Aligners?

May 19th, 2014

Hello there, I’m worried about my aligners. I’m on my 3rd week of using Invisalign aligners but I’m still experiencing a lot of pain around my top front teeth. I have been told by my dentist that it’s normal to experience pain at first but I’m taking painkillers and they don’t even seem to help! Do I need to be worried, is something wrong? I know that because they hurt, the treatment must be working but the pain is unbearable and I just want to keep taking them out. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Will Invisalign Stop Me From Clenching My Teeth?

May 15th, 2014

My dentist office recently recommended Invisalign as a treatment to straighten my slightly misaligned teeth. They told me that with this treatment it will stop my clenching once my teeth are aligned. Is this true or would it be best to just keep using dental guards when I sleep? My teeth have only a slight misalignment that most people wouldn’t even notice.

I Think Invisalign Is Making My Crown Loose. What Shall I Do?

May 14th, 2014

Hey guys. I started Invisalign 3 weeks ago, but I’m now having a problem. I had a dental crown fitted a few years ago and now, with Invisalign treatment, it feels like it’s starting to come loose. I think it’s due to the aligners. If I touch it, it feels very loose. What shall I do?

Can I Drink Sparkling Water When Wearing Aligners?

April 11th, 2014

Hi Dr Manoloutsou. I just got my first tray yesterday. I’m not usually a water drinker, I dislike the taste it leaves in my mouth. I usually drink flavoured sparkling water. The flavoured water I drink contains no sugar and no artificial colours. However, the ingredients do include citric acid, potassium citrate, and malic acid. Can I can drink? Still water is making me gag and it’s only day two. Thank you!

What Are The Invisalign Trays Made From? Can They Cause Any Harm To Me While I’m Pregnant?

March 17th, 2014

Hello Dr Raj. I hope you can help me. I have a question regarding the plastic Invisalign trays and what they are made out of. I am about 3 months pregnant and I just needed to know if there were any toxins in the plastic that can harm the baby? There’s not much I can find on the internet about the materials they use and whether they could be harmful. Any information you could provide me with would be really great. Thank you in advance for any consideration.

Can I Wear My Aligners When I Go To The Sauna Or Is There A Chance They’ll Melt?

February 24th, 2014

Hello Dr Thorne, I hope you can help me, I have a query for you. I was just wondering recently if it is okay to wear my aligners in the sauna three times a week for about 20mins to half an hour? Or will they melt? I would hate for anything to happen. Also is there any other activity that could harm or prevent my treatment from taking place successfully. It worries me that something could happen and I would have to pay for treatment all over again. I would be great to hear back from you regarding this enquiry. Many thanks!

How Can I Get My Original Impressions As I Want My Teeth To Go Back To How They Were.

December 9th, 2013

Hi. I would like to get in contact with invisalign to find out if they have my original impressions, it’s been about 4 years since I started my treatment. I would like my top teeth returned to their original form as now they are off centre. I never needed my top teeth touched but was talked into it. I have used top aligners to get my teeth back as far as the 1st alinger but I need an aligner of my actual original impression just to get them back exactly as they were.
I asked my orthodontist to do this for me but she has been of no help to me. I thought given time they might move back themselves but they don’t seem to be.
Thanks.
