Q. Ever since having the aligners etc i\’ve experienced very tender gums which now bleed every time i brush my teeth! I have ulcers on my tongue and very bad breath and i have no idea why, it\’s been since i started invisalign! What can I do to stop all of this? I\’m contemplating just getting rid of invisalign..,
A. Hello, First of all, you might want to call your dentist and book an appointment regarding the ulcer on tongue. He could easily smoooth the aligner to eliminate the rough edges. Secondly, it is important to brush and floss your teeth after meals. If you wish you could use mouthwash as well.Not to eat and drink anything with aligners in your mouth besides water. Finally,the dentist could also check the bleeding gum and he could refer you to see a Hygenist for a cleaning. The discomfort you experience should disappear soon!
