Does It Cost To Have Aligners Replaced If They Break?

May 29th, 2014
Q.

Hi, I broke my Invisalign aligner, completely by accident of course! I took it out to brush my teeth and trod on it by mistake (it fell off my sink). Anyway, I went to my orthodontist straight away to ask for a new one. I thought he’d give me one free of charge, seeing as though I’m already paying a fortune for it! BUT he’s charging me for a new one and I have to wait a week for it! Surely this isn’t right? Do you think I should seek a second opinion about this? Thanks for your time.

Will I Need To Pay For A Replacement Aligner?

May 6th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr. Manoloutsou. I did something really daft – stood on my invisalign aligner!! I feel so stupid, it snapped completely and I’m worried now that my dentist will be angry. Will I have to pay a lot of money for a replacement? Any advice you could give would be great!

How robust are Invisalign compared to regular braces?

Q.
How robust are the aligners compared to regular braces? What are the chances that they will break/split and if they do would it cost extra for replacements?,

If my aligner does not fit correctly can this be fixed in one appointment?

January 5th, 2011
Q.
Hi, I’ve just attempted to fit my second upper aligner and it is a perfect fit everywhere apart from the very back left where it hangs off the teeth quite badly. I’ve made an appt with my ortho for tomorrow and put aligner 1/14 back in for the time being. I can see by placing alingers 1 and 2 side by side on a flat surface that the general balance of the two are quite different, as if aligner two is somehow warped out of shape (aligner 1 fit perfectly). The best way I can desribe it is to say it’s the same as sometimes happens with a pair of glasses as the stems get bent out of shape over time and then the glasses don’t sit flat on a surface. My question in fact is whether this is something that can possibly be corrected by my ortho at the clinic tomorrow or if it will mean waiting for a replacement from California? I’m really hoping it won’t be the latter as this will of course delay the whole process significantly. Thanks very much for any feedback you can offer.,
