Could you advise me about aligner cleaner products?

January 5th, 2011
Q.
Have you heard something about a new wipe to clean the aligners. It was on some forum and I was wonderin if you would be able to tell me any more about it. Called something like freshen go and I think there might be something else about a spray? Tell me if i’m wrong but I would appreciate to hear what you know of it. ,

How will having some attachments removed affect my invisalign treatment?

January 5th, 2011
Q.
My orthodontist removed a few attachments from my bottom teeth because I couldn’t remove the bottom aligner easily (it took us over ten minutes to get them off). The top ones were easier to remove, however. How will this affect my treatment? Should I ask for them to be put back?,

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.,

A small piece snapped of my upper aligner. Will it still be okay to wear?

December 3rd, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr Vajda, I have just snapped a small piece off the back tooth on my upper tray aligner whilst cleaning it. I get my second set of aligners in a week\’s time. Will it be OK to keep wearing my upper tray until then? It still fits perfectly and can feel that it\’s still working. I can\’t afford to pay for a replacement but worried in case this will ruin the treatment process!,
