I have lost my first Invisalign tray. What would you advise I do?

May 23rd, 2011

Hi,
I am on my first invisalign trays, i have been wearing them for 2 weeks and 5 days – at which point I lost them. I was told when I had them fitted to go back in 2 weeks, but was only able to get appointment for 4 weeks after my original fitting.
I am going to reing them tomorrow to see f there if any chance I can get seen earlier.
As i have already worn them for over the two weeks, would it be OK to wait for another week and two days before going back for my next tray? Or will my teeth move too much in this time. I know I could pay for replacement aligners, but as I have actually worn them for enough time already, I feel like I would only be paying because I cannot get an earlier appointment! I hope this makes sense, what would you advise?

Many thanks.

How many aligners would I need to wear with Invisalign. Would I need a retainer afterwards?

May 3rd, 2011

hello Dr Patel I hope i find you well. I was hoping you could be of help as I was wondering how many of the invisalgin retainers do you usually have to wear during a normal treatment plan and what is the overall price for a normal case for me. ,my case is that I have slightly crooked front teeth and there is a problem in that some of my lower teeth are also crowded but nothing too major.
Also i’ve heard whisperings that you will also have to wear a retainer to bed every night for the rest of your life after the treatment or do my ears deceive me. is this true?

thanks for your time and hoeps you can help
