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 !!!
