I have only had my invisalign for three days, I have not eaten or drank anything other than water with them in- this morning I took them out and the upper tray was yellow- the bottom tray is perfectly clear - how can I clean this yellow upper tray, please
My orthodontist wants to pull out a tooth that's discolored from antibiotics before having me do Invisalign. Won't that look weird and uneven? She doesn't plan to replace it. A dentist previously told me that I should just have my wisdom teeth removed to allow for more room before the Invisalign.
I have a top front tooth that has been calcified for almost 20 years due to getting hit with a basketball. I have never had any problems with this tooth other than discoloration and my dentists have never mentioned needing a root canal. If I proceed with invisalign am I increasing the risk of needing a root canal on this tooth or worse - possibly losing this tooth? Thank you.
I see this has been answered and the answer seems to be YES you can use whiting strips/other while doing invisilign. My question is: once those brackets come off some off, won't you have a small discolored mark there because this area was not whitened? This would be using crest white strips not using the invisilign trays. and I'm specifically concerned about the spots where the brackets are.
My front right tooth has been VERY sensitive. If cold air blows on it when I'm walking or just drinking water. I've noticed in in the past 3 weeks and I am on tray 9 in my Invisalign (wear them for two weeks each tray) Could Invisalign be creating my teeth to die?! What is happening? I'm scared my tooth is going to die and I've just spent so much money trying to fix them
I'm on Tray 12/40. I had to switch to Tray 12 uppers 9 days early because Tray 11 broke, my ortho told me to wear Tray 12 uppers for 9+14 days. The problem is these trays are super discolored now (I have about 6 days left with them) and I can't wear them to professional meetings, so instead of going 5hrs without trays in, I pop in Tray 13 every day and then switch back to tray 12 when I get home, is this okay? Or will it harm my dental health/treatment progress? All my trays are fitting fine so far.
Ok, so im on my 7th tray & have noticed that both the top and bottom trays, on the right hand side, towards the back have gone a green/yellow colour! I have soaked ththem in brite clean & brushed them but they are still discoloured.i haven't eaten or drank anything with them in & cleaned as normal! This never happened with the other trays.Help!
I have always had crowding, crooked & discolored teeth. Had a lot of dental work done about 15 yrs ago. I'd like to keep my teeth as long as I can, & have always had a complex, covering my mouth when I laugh or smile. I have trouble biting some food, as there is no clean scissor bite, but more of a crooked malformed gnore. :) I have bridge-work on my left side which may affect the invisalign treatment. Can give me some sort of insight Hopeful, Sydney, Australia
Hello everyone! I went to a cosmetic dentist and asked him about veneers on my 4 front teeth, I had old fillings on those and now they discolored and I can see them through, I wanted to cover those fillings with veneers and also make my teeth look longer, my natural teeth are small and I have a narrow smile. My dentist got all my cavities under control and said that doing veneers on my teeth would be really easy, but recommended orthodontic treatment first to correct the bite.
