Is It Bad to Wear Aligners at Night?

August 21st, 2014

Hi. I would really like to have Invisalign treatment, they sound by far the best of all the braces I’ve been reading up on, but I’m worried about wearing them during the night. I’ve heard that wearing aligners when you’re asleep is really bad for your oral health and can cause plaque to build up.I’m hoping it’s just a horror story with no truth in it and obviously I would keep my teeth and aligners clean. But before I go ahead with this I’d just like to double check with an expert like your good selves.

Are Invisalign Braces Likely To Cause Mouth Ulcers And Dental Caries?

December 23rd, 2013

Hello Dr Kumar. I am considering Invisalign and would like to know if the braces ever give rise to oral problems such as for example, mouth ulcers due to any possible friction, dental caries in spite of an immaculate tooth cleaning regime and or any other localised superficial, but unwanted oral problems? Any information would be very helpful, thank you.

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.
