Is alcohol-free, sugar-free breath spray okay to use with invisalign? I ask this question because even with brushing and flossing after each meal I get dry mouth and slightly bad breath. I drink water frequently to help with this but I would like to have something to freshen my breath that won't require me to take out the aligners each time. This breath spray is just a little squirt bottle that I can stick in my purse. Otherwise, would sugar-free breath mints be okay?

It could be that when you finished treatment the back molars were not touching. In that case your Orthodontist may have left out the molars so they could super erupt in to place.
Now, it looks as though that situation is reversed. You are now hitting the molars before the rest of the teeth....
I agree with your orthodontist that all your other teeth can probably be moved and the ankylosed tooth managed as a separate procedure. In fact, Invisalign is ideal in this type of situation since tooth movement can be precisely localized. I suggest following your orthodontists recommendation...
