Question 1

how long does it take for a teeth cleaning to heal? im thinking of getting invisalign right away my teeth cleaning.

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depends on pre-Rx gum/bone damage.  Do not even consider OrthoRx unless your supporting tissues are completely healthy.  If you have even early onset gum disease I would recommend that your General Dentist have you evaluated and treated by specialists, a Periodontist and an Orthodontist for best quality, most successful, treatment.

Question 2

how long does it take invisalign to make tighter retainers? its been 7 weeks and dental office tells me retainers are in manufacture state

Accepted Answer

Not 7 weeks: There may be an issue with the impressions that your dental office is unaware of. The office should be able to contact Invisalign directly through their internet portal or by phone to determine the cause of the delay. You can always try calling Invisalign yourself.

Question 3

how much time does it take invisalign to work?

Accepted Answer

Immediately : Your teeth will move a tiny bit while wearing your first set of aligners. You will not really see the movement because it is very small but you will feel it!

Question 4

i forgot to wear my invisalign trays! will it make a difference either way?

Accepted Answer

For how long ?: If the current tray no longer fits well, it may make a difference. Best to see your dentist, and bring in the prior two trays for evaluation.

Question 5

my boyfriends dog ate my top invisalign tray and i was supposed to wear it for 5 more days. should i put my precious tray in or go to the next one?

Accepted Answer

Only: Only your treating Dentist or specialist Orthodontist knows your rate of progress.  Wear the lower, call the Dentist or Orthodontist and ask for advice.  Inserting a new tray before you have properly staged the upgrade may be counterproductive.  You may even have to drop back one tray until a replacement tray can be provided.

Question 6

i am supposed to wear my invisalign trays for one week and then change them. after wearing tray 1 for 4.5 days it feels completely normal. can i change into tray 2 2.5 days early if it feels like they fit well?

Accepted Answer

Orthodontics: Tooth movement, whether via traditional brackets and wires or by plastic trays must be accomplished in a slow, steady pace. Bone resorbs on one side of the tooth socket, whereas bone remodels and forms on the opposite side of the socket. Trying to move teeth too fast can cause permanent damage to the underlying bone. This damage cannot be repaired. Follow your instructions.

Question 7

can you get invisalign in college?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Many people get Invisalign while in college. After late teens the issue is not age, but rather is Invisalign the correct solution for your orthodontic problem.  Your orthodontist will be able to advise if Invisalign is right for you.

Question 8

my invisaligns are unbearable! i can't handle it anymore. how can i get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

Toss them: First, talk to your dr. I'm sure you'll still be responsible for all the fees so don't destroy them. Talk to the dr.

Question 9

i broke my invisalign tray a week into its cycle. it was already feeling loose and the next tray is not uncomfortable. is it okay to just move on?

Accepted Answer

Invisalign Sequence: The new tray must fit perfectly onto your dentition, otherwise it will not work properly. If it does not work properly, that small error will be passed on and magnified for every successive tray. Let your treating dentist take a look.. it only takes a minute... and you may prevent the need to manufacture an entire new set of trays.

Question 10

was wondering if i would still be able to get invisalign if i have had fillings?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you would: Fillings do not affect the treatment of your malocclusion with invisalign.
