I’m using Invisalign and just found out that I’m pregnant, will I have to stop treatment?

July 8th, 2013

Hello Dr Kumar. I was just wondering if you could please advise me with something? I have been undergoing the invisalign treatment for a few months now and found out that i am pregnant. I haven’t had chance to speak to my orthodontist yet, I’m due to see him next week but frightened he’s going to tell me that i have to stop treatment. Can being pregnant affect the way the braces work? I’ve read chances of gum disease occurring is heightened during this time so maybe it isn’t a good idea to keep the aligners in? Any advice would be great, would just love a heads up before i visit him. Thanks!

Can I have Invisalign if I have gum disease?

September 3rd, 2012

Hello,
I would like to try Invisalign braces but at the moment I have slight gum disease and they bleed now and then.I have been to the hygienist and got some treatment and now I work hard to keep my teeth as clean as possible.
Obviously I will wait until the gum disease has gone but I am worried that the shield things will rub on my gums and hurt? Are they quite hard or soft? I wondered if I could maybe have a feel of one before I decide, do you think a dentist would let me do that? I have seen and worn a mouth guard before and they can be really tough and painful after a while, but I am guessing that they are the very cheap ones and not like Invisalign at all.Thank you for your help.

Are my bleeding gums caused by Invisalign? My oral health is good. What is the problem?

May 23rd, 2011

Hello Doctor Kumar,

my Invisalign question is concerned with bleeding gums, which I have been getting quite often after the starting of my invisalign treatment. I am usually very thorough with my cleaning, brushing, flossing and using mouthwash and i also take great care to wash my brace when need be so I don’t think my hygiene is the problem in this case. Could you therefore please suggest any reason for why this would be happening? have an appointment booked for my dentist but would like a small piece of mind in the meantime.

Thank you for your time and I hope you can assist.

My gums have started bleeding since I have started wearing Invisalign.

May 5th, 2011

hello,

i have recently started invisalign treatment and am about one month in.
I have always had healthy if not crooked teeth but all of a sudden my gums have started bleeding. Ive always maintained good oral health and keep excellent care of my teeth do you think the pressure of invisalign is to blame?
Is there anything I can do, will I have to stop the treatment?

thanks for your time
