My Invisalign attachments have come off, but my dentist doesn’t seem to be that concerned.

December 15th, 2011

Hi I’m just starting my Invisalign odyssey, in am about a week into my first tray and two of the attachments have fallen off. i rang the dentists office and the receptionist told me as long as the aligner stayed in it wasn’t a big deal if the attachments had fallen off. Is this right? otherwise whats the point in having the attachments? any help you give on the matter to help me clear it up would be great.

Can Invisalign correct my crooked teeth and ‘fangs?’

August 23rd, 2011

i have really, really horrible teeth, which are crooked and twisted and then have those weird fang things, with my teeth growing out of my gums! i really like the idea of invisalign as it just so much more unnoticeable than other braces, but do you think i am a viable candidate for this, or is there a brace system better suited to me? If there are other braces better for my condition could you please recommend them to me?

thank you for your time

The tops of my teeth are now rough, is this because of Invisalign?

July 25th, 2011

hello doctor, hope you are well,

i just wanted to ask you about teeth after invisalign. I had the treatment about a year ago and am very happy with the results, but have recently noticed a certain roughness to the tops of my front teeth. The roughness is right at the very top and feel like lines. The tops of my front teeth don’t hurt or anything and feel strong but i just wondered about this new texture as my teeth did not feel like that before the treatment.

thank you very much for your time and any help you can give

My Invisalign aligners don’t fit my teeth perfectly, what should I do?

July 7th, 2011

I am on my 6th set now and have noticed that on one tooth the plastic is not sitting flush to the end of my tooth, there is an excess. I have mentioned this to my dentist and he said it gives the tooth room to grow down, I don’t believe this as it is not the case for any other tooth. Now the tooth on the opposite side has done the same with my new set? Please can you let me know if you think they are not moving properly?

Will my teeth grinding affect my Invisalign aligners?

June 21st, 2011

Hi there Doctor,

could you tell me the protocol when it comes to a teeth grinder looking to wear invisalign. I sadly do not only grind my teeth in my sleep but also in my waking hours, when concentrating or even daydreaming, it has become an awful annoyance to myself and those around me and not only that my teeth are in an awful condition alignment wise. My top teeth are crowded and crooked and I really want to sort them out, and would prefer if it was done discreetly. WIll I be ok wearing invisalign in light of my grinding problem?
Thank you for your time

Do I have to have aligners on both sets of teeth, as only the top teeth are the problem.

June 8th, 2011

Hello Doctors

I have very crooked, twisted teeth on my top teeth and was wondering to correct them will i have to have invisalign on both top and bottom?
My bottom teeth are in good condition and it seems that it would incur extra costs if i were to get them top and bottom.
Do you think I could do without braces on my bottom teeth?

Thank you for your time doctors

My Invisalign aligners keep falling off.

May 5th, 2011

Hi,

I have worn my invisalign braces for around 4 months now. The total treatment time will be around 8.5 months initially.

I had a total of 6 attachments put on, and after a week or so, 1 of them came off. My dentist told me that the attachment would not be replaced as it may come off again.

Recently 2 more of the attachments came off, however they did not just fall off, I think I was a bit too forceful when putting the aligners back into my mouth once, and I accidentally knocked 2 of the attachments off.

I have an appointment on friday to see my dentist. Should he be replacing these 2 that fell off recently?

I am just concerned that with them off, my teeth will not be moving as well as they could with the attachments, and that when the 8.5 months is complete, it will mean that I then have to wear the refinement braces for longer than if the attachments are on during the initial 8.5 months.
