There's a Groupon Today for Invisalign in my Area. Would You Recommend This?

I have a preferred dentist, but the Groupon is such a good deal. I don't know if this is a gimmick or not, or if there's a way for the dentist to provide less comprehensive Invisalign service.

A: Discounted Dentistry such as Groupon

If you have decided to seek need dentistry or elective care, the most important criteria is to find a professional who can provide experience, care, concern and who you Trust. Never let price dictate how you approach your health. If such a dentist offers Groupon, then by all means, save the money. Good luck to you.

How Long Does Invisalign Take to Work?

How long does invisalign take to work?

A: Invisalign timeline

So many Invisalign cases are done in 4-6 months.  Some will be 2-3 years.  The majority are between 6 months to a year and a half, in my experience.  Patients are always thrilled with the result and say they are so glad they did it!

Alternating Top and Bottom Invisalign Aligners?

The first week of Invisalign I had severe headaches with jaw pain. My Ortho suggested I should alternate them and double the wear time to 4 weeks so an average of only 8-10 hrs per aligner a day(top during day;bottom at night). I am concerned that this is not adequate time for movement and could damage my roots. Would it make better sense to correct the top and then the bottom later? If the next one fits do I assume enough movement has taken place?

A: Headaches and jaw pain wearing Invisalign

If there is a sub-clincial myofascial pain (TMJ) problem, it would not  be unusual to have your symptoms. I would recommend discontinuing the Invisalign and seek a definative diagnosis and therapy for the pain.  Good luck.
