“Loose teeth from invisalign a normal occurence?”

Invisalign: Undecided

Cost: $6,000
Pain: Mild
Invisalign satisfaction: Fair2 Star Rating: Fair
I do not recommend my Invisalign provider: Name not provided
Why: My doctor met with me for the consultation only. I have not seen him since then. I have been wearing my invisalign for 2 months and 2 weeks. Also, I feel that I am not properly supported by my doctor. No one answers emails despite I was advised that I could email for any concerns.
Seeking help:

I have been wearing invisalign for a little over 2 months. I am on my fifth set. However, the discomfort lasts longer with this set. Also, I have noticed that a few of my teeth are loose. For example, if I place a finger on one of my teeth and slightly move it back and forth, I can see movement. Please advise if this occurence is normal.
Review of Invisalign:

I have what would be described as "crowded teeth". I interact with clients everyday; therefore, I chose invisalign. So far, my experience have been okay.

Hello I have not started my treatment yet, but it seems like your Doctor should be helping you in any way he/she could. Have you tried contacting them to see what they have to say about how your feeling or about your teeth? I hope all works out for you. You might have to change Doctors. How often do you go in to see them?

The looseness of your teeth is medically called "mobility" and is divided into 3 classes. Class I = 1mm of movement, Class II=2mm, and Class III=3mm. Class I mobility is completely normal with orthodontic movement, because your teeth move by resorbing bond around the root in front of the tooth, and filling bone in behind. This is why it is so important to wear a retainer after treatment.

Yes this is normal. Your teeths are loose so they can realign to their final possition. Keep the trays as long as you can. At the end of the treatment you will need to wear retainers so new bones can grow back around your new possisioned teeth's roots. Good luck!!!
