I consulted two orthodontists about invisalign. One of them told me with IPR I can finish in 8 months but that I can also opt for no IPR and finish in 16 months. The other doctor said that most likely I would need IPR on my bottom teeth and that if I didn't get IPR I would have aligned but protruding teeth on the bottom. Please advise.
I'd like a second opinion: I never had braces. Invisalign is the option suggested by both the doctor. I have crowding in the front and bottom teeth. Not sure if as an adult arch expansion will work ( the doctor said that she will place the expansion tool for 6 months )? On the other hand, I'm worried if IPR is a safe option.
I have just had my ClinCheck results. I only need 14 aligners just for my upper teeth. I wasnt expecting to need much IPR if any, so to hear I need it between 5 different teeth at the maximum amount of 0.5mm I am concerned this is too much and I worry the gaps wont close up in the space of 14 aligners.
Theres a black triangle between #9 and #10. I think I made a mistake in choosing my dentist but Im at the end of refinements, maybe too late to switch. Im not confident in my dentist performing IPRs based on whats done to my bottom teeth. I am concerned it will change the shape of the tooth and look very unsymmetrical vs the other lateral incisor. Should I just finish the refinement and get Bioclear/bonding later, or I should get IPR to reduce the black triangle?
I noticed that the notes section on my new set of trays says IPR. Upon researching Ive noticed this is basically the shaving of my teeth to make more room. Why didnt my dentist say anything about this? Is she supposed to do this before or after this set of aligners go in? To be totally honest, she doesnt always seem like she knows what shes doing. She barely checks my progress more than give me a smile. I should go back to look at the other packages to see if anything else was missed..
I just got braces on and they had to do irp in between my teeth on my top and bottom of my mouth as my mouth was crowded. My mouth is very sensitive today and even to touch my teeth hurts. Is it normal to experience this?
I have black triangle because of a dentiste and i am so sad i cant see my face in the miror i wanna to fix it with braces or invisalign and i am afraid about stripping m'y teeth ipr do you think that the gap could desapeair with invisalign treatement.? Is some ipr necessary in my case. ? Thank you for your answer and excuse me for my bad english please need your helps doctores
Today I was scheduled to get attachments and IPR (tray #3). My orthodontist was on vacation and his colleague decided to postpone the IPR by 8 weeks (I am on a 10 day schedule). He said that, because there is so much to remove (0.4 to 0.5 mm on several teeth) I will be more comfortable if for the moment I just get used to the attachments and then we do the IPR later. I worry that the aligners were designed to have the IPR done today - wouldn't that cause problems with fitting etc.?
I'm doing invisalign, I'm on the second week of tray 3 and Doc had me come in for attachments and IPR and then continue wearing tray 3 for one more week before switching to tray 4. He shaved off .3mm between my top two front teeth, incisor, canine, and first premolar (on each side). The tx was to fix my overjet, crowding and my bite. I apologize, I didn't take any before pictures so I just included some close up's of my smile before the IPR, and then of course the aftermath.
