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.

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

June 26th, 2012

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 !!!

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

How durable are Invisalign aligners. Could they withstand teeth grinding?

May 23rd, 2011

hello doctor,

i was wondering about the durability of Invisalign as I am quite bad when it comes to grinding my teeth. I mainly do it during the night but have been known to have daytime sessions when I am especially stressed. Do you also have any advice to help me with my grinding as it has plagued me for most of my life and my partner finds it more than a little bit annoying.

Thank you very much for your time doctor
