Is my daughter’s tooth grinding causing her Invisalign tray to break?

June 26th, 2012
Q.

Hello, my question is for my 14 yr. old daughter who has been wearing Invisalign. First, I’d like to mention she grinds her teeth badly at night and whenever she is stressed. That being said, she has broken multiple trays. And, at the last dentist visit the bottom tray was so off it would not fit. So, new impressions had to be made and the dentist truly feels that the breakage is from her not wearing them 22 hrs. a day. Is it possible they are breaking from her grinding and maybe people who grind their teeth should not be canadites for Invisilign. My daughter insists she’s been wearing them and we did tell the dentist that she grinds her teeth at the consultation. Your view would be very much appreciated. VERY frustrating !!!

I have just had my Invisalign braces attachment removed and can feel a crack, what should I do?

January 3rd, 2012
Q.

Hello, hope you can help me.

I have now come to the end of my Invisalign and am happy with positioning of my teeth.

However, I’ve just had my attachments removed and when I got home I discovered a crack in one of the teeth where the attachment was fixed to. This crack was definitely not there prior to the attachment being removed. As well as being able to see it, I can also slightly feel it! The attachment did take quite a lot of hard work to remove.

What should I do. Could this be a serious problem? Obviously I’ve spent a lot of money and waited two years to see the benefit of this treatment, to now be left with this.

My orthodontist didn’t mention it to me. Is it serious, and what should I do?

Many thanks in advance.

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

December 15th, 2011
Q.

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.

Is it possible to have invisalign without bands?

January 14th, 2011
Q.
I have a 13 year old son whose upper jaw has grown unusally. His upper right side has ballooned out to creat a misaligned bite on that side. It may have been caused by knock. All his infant teeth are out now. The othodontist here recommend that we use metal upper braces secured with mini elastic bands to bottom right teeth. I think this would not work with my son as he has motor skill problems. Could Invisalign help without fiddling with bands?,
