I am a 35 year old considering Invisalign. I have 1 baby tooth that has NO adult tooth underneath. and it has a filling in it (originally amalgam then changed to composite). I am concerned orthodontics may cause the tooth to fall out either through the force and movement of the teeth or from root resorption. I read resorption naturally occurs in baby teeth & that minor root resorption is common in orthodontics. What is the general likelihood that Invisalign will cause me to lose this baby tooth?
I did a 11 month Invisalign in 2015. After that, x ray showed I have external resorption at tooth #12. My dentist is saying he can do nothing about it but monitor. I took another x ray recently and seems not much has change to the resorption area. But I am still very worry about it. Is it really nothing can be done?
I am 37 years old. When I was 14 I have worn traditional braces. Now I started with Invisalign. 25 trays. Go my first 3 trays and was told to wear the first one 14 days and tray #2 and tray #3 for 10 days. I bought Acceledent from a different dentist. My dentist tells me now NOT to use the acceledent as I can lose my tooth because of this device. Why did she started me on invisalign in the first place as I understand that any orthodontic work will cause some increased root resorption.
About five years ago my upper front tooth was partially knocked out and i recieved a root canal. The tooth is still slightly loose but no signs of root resorption. There are some gaps in these front teeth i would like to fix with invisalign. Do i run a risk of root resorption by moving this tooth around?
I have on my roots and have been told I cant have Invisalign (Ive had Invisalign in the past) please can I have your opinions on how bad the resorption is and if I can have Invisalign again, Im so worried about this resorption and if its going to get any worse and require an implant
