Should My Aligners Feel This Loose?

September 2nd, 2014

Hello Dr Sepehrara. I’ve got a small problem but I don’t want to ignore it in case it’s really important and ruins my whole treatment. It doesn’t feel like my aligners are fitting properly.My first set really hurt my gums and I was really aware of them, and my gums only stopped hurting when I started with the next set. I’m still on the 2nd set but they feel quite loose, like there’s no strain at all. Is this normal, or should I feel more pressure? I don’t think they fit right in comparison with my first set. What do you think?

Am I Allergic to Invisalign?

July 21st, 2014

Hi there, I’m hoping you can help to answer my question. I started Invisalign treatment a month ago, and I anticipated some mild discomfort at first but my gums are actually severely swollen. This started roughly around the time I got my first aligner, but it hasn’t gotten any better.Is it possible that I’m allergic to the aligner? If so, what can be done about it? Thank you.

My Aligners Cause Me a Lot of Pain. What Can I Do?

July 3rd, 2014

Hi, I have been suffering with a lot of pain during my Invisalign treatment, and it gets worse with every new set of aligners. My gums are sore and swollen and I feel like I constantly have mouth ulcers. My dentist says this is bound to happen. I imagined it would be painful at first but it is really just constant all the time. Due to the amount of pain it causes I keep having to take them out so I’m worried that they’re not working as they should because I don’t have them in long enough. I haven’t told my orthodontist that I take them out because I don’t want him to be angry. What should I do?

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.

I Have A Lot Of Pain With My Invisalign Treatment, And I Keep Taking My Aligner Out Because Of The Pain. Please Give Me Advice.

October 28th, 2013

Hi. I’ve had nothing but pain since investing in Invisalign treatment. It just won’t let up and it gets worse, every time I have a new set of aligners. My gums look very swollen. My dentist has said that this is bound to happen and I did expect some pain but it’s honestly constant. I’m not being dramatic and I’ve tried painkillers but at the moment the aligners are out more than they’re being left in. Can you please give me some advice as to what I can do? I don’t have much time left but feel the treatment hasn’t really changed my teeth because as I said, I always have to take them out. I haven’t told my orthodontist this and I don’t know what to do. Thank you for your advice in advance! I’m really hoping you can help me.

Will my illness mess up my Invisalign treatment?

September 27th, 2012

Hello Doctor,
I am currently having Invisalign treatment and have been wearing braces for about four months now. Everything has been going fine and my dentist is happy with the results so far as am I. The problem is that for the last nine days I have been extremely ill with a throat and chest infection and have not been wearing my aligners. Mainly because I have just felt too ill to bother and also I have been coughing a lot and they were inconvenient really. Perhaps being ill I wasn’t thinking properly. Anyway, I know i have to confess this to my dentist ASAP but what do you think the outcome will be? has it messed up my whole treatment ? Thanks you in advance.
