• Posted to Terrible Pain when Starting Invisalign on 27 Aug 2012

  Im crying while writing this. I've see the same dentist since I was 10. I'm now 55. Diabetic type 2. My dentist put lumineers on my to teeth. Beautiful white straight teeth. I was so happy to smile. My dentist retired and sold his practice to another dentist. Will call him Dr T. He gave me 3 new crowns lower right. I continued to have severe pain. He kept using the laser to calm the nerves. After a couple of months I was ok. Without my permission he remove a small about size of a dot filling behind my front tooth. Didn't need to it was fine. Next, he told me I had alot of bone loss in the upper front area of my teeth due to my diabetes. Did not refer me at all to the periodontist. I started noticing in between the two front teeth i had just a very small space near the upper gum. He went around the corner after taking an impression of my teeth and had made me a "homade" plastic tray that he said was an invisalign tray. Told me this would fix the problem. It was very rough and had scratches all over the front. Told me to wear them 24/7. I was in severe pain and kept talking to him about it and each time I saw him he made it tighter. My friend who is a dentist was in total shock and told me that it is not an invisilign and not to put it back in. As I understand from 3 dentist I talked to they also were in shock and said that my impression should have been sent to the invisilign lab not rigged up in his office. I found another dentist who took X-rays and saw the bone loss and said he should have imideantly ref me to a periodontist. I saw him too. Now I have a huge gap between several of my front teeth. One is bulging forward. They are all very very loose. I can barely brush my teeth without crying, I can't even bite into a piece of bologna. My food has to be cut in tiny pieces and I can only chew on my right side. The peridontist has ref me to an oral surgeon to have ALL of my upper teeth pulled. He said so few are salvageable. Then I have to pay for dentures. I am so hurt and losing my mind. I can't believe just 6 months ago I had perfect Hollywood white straight teeth with NO problems. He has been sending me threating statements saying if I don't pay full amount due (2,000.00) he is turning me over to collections. I use oxcycodone prescribed by my back doctor just so i won't be hurting all day long. I don't know what to do. I need help from someone. HELP!!

  It just gradually started. I have diabetes
  Which he thinks is linked to it. Ok then
  Why are the others not doing it? All he
  Did is fit me with invisilign and tell me
  To come back in 4 weeks to tighten it.
  You would not believe how much it hurts
  To wear this, plus I havent worn it now for
  A week and they are still killing me. Today
  I bit into a boiled egg and that even hurt.
  I feel like having all my teeth pulled and get
  Dentures. Another thing they are not real
  White at all. Look kinda dingy.

  I had lumineers put on 8 of my top teeth in 2007.
  I now have an ugly space between my two
  Front teeth. Can't bond to lumineers per
  My dentist. Says I have some bone loss and
  Put a invisilign on my top to try and push
  Them back together. This is very painful.
  I'm PISSED!!! I paid 15,000 for this crap.
