Any Remedies to Fix a Torn Invisalign Tray?

November 16, 2008
Asked By:JPs in Tucson AZ

I have had 4 trays tear in the same spot, where a problem tooth is. Now, my dentist tells me that the trays haven't been fitting right and I had to go back several times. To replace a tray, they want $50 EACH. I have already paid nearly $6k. This seems outrageous; why did it take dentist so long to say that the trays weren't fitting right? Is there any way to fix a torn Invisalign tray?

Sometimes we see cracks develop in Invisalign aligners due to the stress of inserting & removing the aligners frequently.   One tip is to NOT always put the aligner in & out in the same manner.  For example, don't always grab the same area & pull on that area first when...
