If&nbsp;you interrupt the treatment then it will not proceed as planned. Most likely you will need your teeth rescanned and treatment restarted. As this costs time and staff for you Dental provider I would expect to pay a fee to them for your change in plans. I hope this helps. &nbsp;

Hi, I got my first pair of Invisalign aligners a week ago and have been wearing them as instructed. I am supposed to be getting my attachments and a new set of aligners next week, but have now decided to postpone this till the end of April, as I am going on a long trip. My dentist recommended that I continue wearing the retainers until my next appointment. My question is - is this necessary? Would I not be able to stop now and recommence wearing them two weeks before my next appointment?

Interruption in wearing Invisalign aligners, can I stop now and pick it back up in a few months?

Great question but a bit confusing. If you have molar&nbsp;teeth they need at least partial coverage or they will over erupt. If you have no molars I’m not sure why you are asking. I hope that helps.&nbsp;

I am on my second tray of Invisalign and the top impression does not cover my back molars. Is this normal?

I think it a too early to tell. I would stick at it. Most likely a gum infection around the healing abutment. Doesn’t mean failure. In the event it is then I would suggest repeating the procedure. &nbsp;Like any medical procedure outcomes are not guarenteed. I hope that helps.&nbsp;

I got an implant placed January 10 on tooth 20 and today is February 21. I had no complications with the placement. I did not need a bone graft at all. After the surgery, I was fine. Yesterday I noticed a bump with the slightest white in it. I went to my dentist, and he said that it was the beginning of an infection. He put me on an antibiotic, and told me to take it until the bump clears. The bump doesn’t hurt at all, and the X-ray revealed that there is nothing wrong with the implant at all

Is this implant doomed to fail? (Photo)

Hi M Oley,
The bumps on the back are precision bite ramps to aid the intrusion of your lower teeth.&nbsp;They have been purposely design by your orthodontist. They’re different to spaces designed for attachments elsewhere. There shouldn’t be attachments on your teeth underneath. The most important part is to wear them for 22 hours a day and ideally only have 4x30 minute breaks. The design has been done and now the rest is up to you. Good luck

I just got my Invisalign aligners and after getting all the needed attachments for the front of my teeth I noticed that there were bumps on the back of my aligners. Does that mean that there should be attachments there too? My orthodontist didn't mention anything about it so I was wondering what the bumps were there for if I never ended up getting attachments there? I want to get the best result from wearing the Invisalign but if I don't have all the possible attachments how will I achieve that?

Why do my Invisalign trays have bumps on the back of them? Is this for buttons/attachments?

Hey Eli&nbsp;
It will be fine as long as it fits correctly. There is a misapprehension that all the trays do the same thing. It is designed by the doctor and some will feel like they are doing more than others.&nbsp;
Dr Luke
 
PS if you don't wear them I guarantee it won't work.&nbsp;

So far all of my Invisalign aligners have fit very tight the first couple days but I recently started tray 5 after not wearing tray 4 the recommended hours and it fits loosely and doesn't hurt at all...I even added an additional week to tray 4 and it still doesn't give me a tight fit when wearing tray 5.

Tray 5 of my Invisalign fits loosely, advice?

Hi Alex,
I would if you haven't already, remove you wisdom teeth and then sequentially distalise your molars with elastic removing the need to extract teeth at the front. Great Class II Invisalign case.&nbsp;

I visited two different experts, and I got two different tecniques, I don't know what to choose considering i'm not an expert... This is my two options : 1- Traditionnal braces, invisalign impossible, will extract 4 teeths marked with blue spot. Treatment 18-24 months. 2- Invisalign specialist ready to use this technique. Will extract two teeths red spots. Say that upper canin need to be removed.24 months. Obviously I will prefer Invisalign but scared to remove my canin. Your advice please!

Two Different Specialist Advice, Need Help from an Expert. Which Treatment Plan Is Right For Me? (photo)

Hey Maxcaddy, thanks for your direct enquiry but I thought this is a good opportunity to answer a larger question around cost and what you pay for. I currently charge $3000 to $4000 per veneer depending on the number and complexity of the situation. This price is not a reflection on the cost of materials or equipment but a reflection on creating the ideal outcome. This is a combination of exceeding&nbsp;the expectations of the client and maintaining my own.&nbsp;It is the expertise that is biggest cost differential in any cosmetic procedure. I hope this helps. Dr Luke.&nbsp;

I want porcelain veneers but my dentist quoted me $2,000 per tooth for 4 teeth, and says I need to get my lower teeth straightened for "structural support" ($5,300 or so). I'm an actor with ok teeth, but a gap at the front, slight discoloration of one that shows up on camera, &amp; the teeth next to the two front ones are a little small. I'm sure I've seen posts about porcelain veneers less than $2,000 each &amp; I don't want to get cheap ones but what is the standard$ for reasonable quality?

Porcelain veneers cost in Sydney, AU?

The spacing and narrowing of the arch are very simply corrected using clear aligners&nbsp;or Invisalign. With correct programming by the doctor the treatment can be&nbsp;performed remotely with correct wear. I hope this helps.&nbsp;

I will be traveling. Do I get all my aligners ahead in time ?

Can this be corrected using Invisalign and how much would be the avg cost? (Photo)

Hi Aleksaaa, unfortunately there has been an issue with the impression/scan,the planning,&nbsp;or the aligner manufacture. Aligners will be a very close fit each time you change them to create incremental movements. Given this is the first one it is likely to be the records or the manufacture. It is propably worth noting that product isn't manufactured by Invisalign.&nbsp;
 
Illfitting aligners will create unwanted movements. These normally present as&nbsp;mesialisation (tipping forward) and intrusion (pushing in)
 
Hope that helps.&nbsp;

I'm on my 9th day, using my 1st aligner. From the beginning the aligner on my lower teeth had a bad fit. It fits firmly on my premolars/molars but about 3-5 mm above my lateral and central incisors. In order to fit it; the lower tray has a jagged edge on the inside and is ''warped''. My teeth have moved in the wrong direction I think. My major concern is that tray #2 will NOT fit on my lower teeth at all, which did at first. Could this be due to a bad teeth impression or aligner print out ?

''Pinched/warped'' lower Invisalign aligner from the beginning. Bad fit. Faulty dental impression or aligner? (photos)

Hi there,  As a general rule if aligners are being worn for the recommended 22hrs/day then 14 days is sufficient.  They should still feel quite snug at the end of 2 weeks wear but you should not necessarily feel pressure. If the aligners are seated in completely then they are likely tracking on fine. Always consult with your doctor to be sure.

I am supposed to change to my 3rd tray in 4 days and the trays I am in still feel tight. I am using the chewy tubes (not everyday but I try). I am reading about how loose the trays feel on others before the 2 weeks are up. I am 47 years old. Does the process take longer in older people?

Should I wear my trays longer than 2 weeks? How will I know if they need more time to work?
