Will Tooth-Grinding Wear Away at Invisalign Aligners?

July 30th, 2014

Hello Drs Cannell & Stafford. I suffer with Bruxism and have to wear a mouth guard at night to stop me from grinding my teeth. My teeth are very crooked though so I would like to have braces. My dentist says I should have traditional fixed braces but I would much prefer to have Invisalign. I can see why my dentist doesn’t think I should have Invisalign as I wouldn’t be able to wear the guard at night but I would like a second opinion anyway. Would my tooth grinding wear away at the aligners? I really don’t want big metal braces so are there other options for me if I can’t have Invisalign? Thank you.

Would Invisalign be suitable for me as I grind my teeth?

August 1st, 2012

Hi there.
I would very much like to have Invisalign treatment on a few slightly off teeth that are not quite in line or straight enough. The problem I have is that I grind my teeth quite a lot at night. A couple of my teeth are quite worn down at the back but these are not the teeth I wish to treat. I am worried that my tooth grinding will harm the aligners and I will have to keep paying for more to be made?
If this is the case, what would you suggest as an alternative to Invisalign as I would like something very discreet if possible. Thank you for your help, I look forward to your reply.

Would teeth grinding have any affect on Invisalign treatment?

August 25th, 2011

hello and thank you for considering my question. I have to admit that i am a bit of a teeth grinder both day and night and I wondered will this effect the invisalign? I worry that i will grind through the aligner or at least cause some damage. Or in the long run ruin the brace work that has been performed. If i would cause damaged to the Invisalign brace can you recommend any other braces that would be just as good and as discreet?

many thanks for your time

I grind my teeth at night so would this mean that I am not suitable for Invisalign?

December 16th, 2010

Q.
Hello. I wear a night guard at the present time for a condition where I grind my teeth when sleeping. I have had this since it began over two years, when I started a new job. Stress has been deemed the likely cause. But now I am having a look at these Invisalign aligners and am thinking they would be a good solution to my problem with teeth that are crooked to a very small degree, but a noticeable degree for me. Can you tell me what implications this would have on me wearing a night guard? Would I not be suitable. Hope to hear from you soon to my email.,
