I am currently wearing Invisalign. I wear them weekly and have a total of 16 trays. There was some confusion at the doctor office and they gave me tray 12 to wear instead of tray 11. I am now on tray 14 and just realized that I skipped tray 11. I spoke to the receptionist and she said the doctor will just have me do refinements. The trays have all fit fine and my teeth have been shifting. Would refinements be necessary? Also is there going to be any damage by skipping out that week?
I'm away at college and lost current tray after wearing one week. I don't have previous trays either. Called dr. on Wed. for advice and was told they'd call me back on mon. Can I advance early just this one time? How long does it take to get replacement tray?
I lost my top tray on Day 2 of the first set and my upper teeth are pretty straight to start with. The next tray fits ok with a little pressure on my two front teeth. Is it ok to advance to this tray? I had braces as a kid and my top teeth are still pretty straight.
Hello, I have skipped a tray #14 and now I am almost done with a tray #15, which I have been wearing for 2 weeks and should replace today. Yesterday I discovered that the tray #14 was skipped and now I am not sure what should I do - go to the tray #14 and then wear the tray #15 again or just proceed to a tray #16. I have noticed that the tray #15 was a little bit more painful, but it seems that it fits me ok.
I'm a 27 year old woman who has never had braces in the past. I'm currently doing the Invisalign treatment. I've completed trays 1-6 wearing each tray for 2 weeks. When I went to get set 7 from my dentist, he accidentally gave me set 12 which I've now been wearing for 4 weeks without knowing it was the wrong set. I've obviously been in a lot of pain for the past 4 weeks and they still don't fit flush down onto my teeth. What damage has most likely been done with this unnecessary rapid movement?
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?
When the video came back, I saw that the whole treatment will have 17 trays(both upper & lower), my dentist extended it to 26 trays so i won't feel as painful. My dentist told me to skip a tray(from 9 to 11) and he didn't give me any explanations. When I asked the nurse, she said that my progress was good and up to speed, it's ok to skip a tray. My guess was they've lost my tray 10. Is there a problem if I skip one? or should i get it back?
