Today someone accidentally threw away my Invisalign which I've been wearing for about 3 and a half days, so I tried to clean them with hot water, which deformed the top one. I have my next tray, and it seems to fit. Should I move on to my next tray?
Since you had only worn one aligner for 3 days, it is likely best to go back to the most recent aligner and contact your dentist to have them remake the lost aligner. Had you been past one week in the aligner, you could probably fudge and move to the next one, but with only 3 days in you may compromise the case. It MIGHT work, but you would assume all of the risk should it not.
will i have to get teeth removed.
In years past it was routine to extract teeth when doing orthodontics. Times have changed and removal of teeth is only in extreme cases. Invisalign allows us more control of tooth movement and often allows us to avoid extractions.
The photos are hard to read, so I can't really comment on what you would need, but I would assume extractions would not be likely.
I got my braces off 4 weeks ago and was not happy with the result. My dentist told me he would handle it. After 4 weeks of wondering why my top retainer was not in yet I went in and asked.My dentist told me he ordered 2 -3 trays of invisalign and that it takes 6 weeks to create an ship. He was busy, so he couldn't talk any longer. I went home and found out it costs near 5 grand. Do the amount of trays have any influence on the price? Will the invisalign still fit b/c my teeth have shifted?
Until the dentist gets the ClinCheck (the computer treatment plan), they don't know how many aligners/trays are needed for the case. Until then, only a range of fees can be given.
However, I strongly suggest that you be aware of all costs before starting. This will avoid any surprises.
