Hi, I would recommend that you speak with your dentist about your dissatisfaction of the treatment and see what the dentist can do about it. Different offices have different price schedules regarding fees for new aligners, some offices incorporate them into the initial fee and some charge for...
I have several patients who major in music with both wind and string instruments. After the normal adjustment period, none of them have had any issues. They actually wear the aligners while playing!
