My orthodontist had suggested a wire on the back of the teeth after completion of treatment. and seeing a periodontist at that point. I'm concerned that without a guard the teeth would fall out when eating anything hard - ie apple. 1. I'm concerned about proceeding further with Invisalign. 2, Would teeth have a better chance of stabilizing with gradually moving back to old position (using old trays)? 3. see a periodontist at this point -bone grafts?
My back teeth, especially the ones I chew with are very loose and I have already exceeded week 2 with my Invisalign tray. I can feel them move when I floss. Sometimes I leave my trays out for 2-4 hrs but, never exceed leaving them out more than 4 hours a day as I only eat once or twice a day. I didn't think I was doing anything wrong. There's nothing on the Invisalign instructions that tell you how long at a time to leave the trays out, just not more than 4 hours a day. What damage have I done?
Since my dentist put 5 attachments on my bottom teeth a few days ago, it has been very difficult and painful to remove my Invisalign bottom tray. Every time I do, I expect a tooth to come out with it. I noticed today that the bottom teeth are slightly loose now. I know this is normal but I am terrified of losing a tooth. Are the trays strong enough to pull out an otherwise healthy tooth? What is the best process for removing the tray to hopefully avoid any such risk?
Hello, so I have a slightly loose tooth #8 (one of my center frontal tooth) due to a fall, would it be smart to get the tooth extracted and put in a dental implant before I get Invisalign? The pockets on number 9 seems to be a little deep as well, how should I go about fixing the top of my teeth which is slightly crooked? Thank you
Ive been sick the last week and a half. I wore my trays for a week (first set) and then stopped when I got sick. I was able to restart and then I went about four days again not wearing them and now my front are loose! I feel like they shouldnt be loose on my first tray and the fact that I havent even worn them long enough for my teeth to move scares me! Should I stop treatment or keep going to stabilize?
Very concerned and regretting the decision to start the Invisalign process. I'm about 6 months into the 18 months of treatment. My teeth are loose and, because the bite is changing, i am slowly chipping my teeth whenever I eat. I wish I could reverse this and go back to how my teeth were before I started. Is reverting to my old bite an option?
I finished invisalign 3 years ago. But I was traveling recently and forgot to wear my invisalign retainer for about 6 weeks. I just put them back in, & my front 2 teeth hurt pretty bad and feel kind of loose. The invisalign fit over all my teeth fine, so I figured it's okay as long as I can bare the pain..? My question is: Is this really bad for my front 2 teeth ligaments to stretch this much at once, or is it okay since the invisalign do fit over the teeth and I just need to bare the pain?
