How can I stop gagging while Invisaligns are in my mouth?

Masterk163Feb 28, 2019
I got my invisaligns early this morning. I can't keep them in no longer than 15mins itching my tongue causing me to gag. Dentist gave me some type of oral gel to numb some back areas but it doesn't help long enough. Any thoughts on what to do? I'd hate to have to just throw the whole process away.

The tightness of a new tray is very normal! The first day or two, your teeth are getting used to the movement they need to make, that is why you may feel some discomfort and soreness. After continuous wear, your teeth are making small movements, so that is why the tray starts to feel loose...

Make sure you brush with an electric toothbrush for two minutes daily and floss at least once a day. You might also rinse with Tooth and Gum Tonic which you can get on Amazon. I, myself, am not a big believer in Arestin.

Its always advisable to quit smoking. but answer is yes, u can smoke. as u r worried about staining of attachment, no need to worry about only attachment, smoking makes whole tooth yellow, so if u r smoker thn its advisable to go for teeth whitening when you feel teeth are yellow.
