After about a week with my first tray of Invisalign I got terrible canker sores. My orthodontist had suggested that should this happen, I am to use Colgate Peroxyl (which I have been doing, and is providing temporary relief) and use the dental wax that she provided me. The dental wax is in hard tube shaped forms (see photograph) and I haven't any idea on how/where to use it! How am I supposed to use the dental wax, and where shall I apply it? Any help is much appreciated, Thank you!

Absolutely. You can get refinement with Express. Your orthodontist should scan your teeth and do the refinement. There may be an extra fee though because refinement is not included in treatment fees most often in Express cases.
Hi there, The attachments are made out of white filling material, and because they are not polished to a high shine like a front filling would be, they can stain fairly easily. Once stained, the attachment can't be whitened. It would surprise me to see one meal discolor them that significantly. ...
Hi there,I would contact your dentist that you did Invisalign with. They may still have the record and be able to submit for new retainers. I recently had a patient in this situation and we were able to retrieve the records through our Invisalign sales rep.Good luck!
