It is best to change your invisalign tray in a timely manner to stay on track in progressing with aligning the teeth. This way you can see your results faster. The more aligners your wear longer then advised the more you delay your final outcome. The effect of the aligner is complete in two weeks. Wearing it longer then that may help retain the position but wearing it for too long may cause the aligner to breakdown as they are meant to be changed every two weeks.
Wearing the aligners more than instructed time will delay your treatment. It won't cause any damage & but it's like a pause on your treatment. If for some unexpected incidents, you can not go to your dentist on time or there is an issue with your treatment & your other trays are being remade, wearing the same tray is ok. it'll be like a retainer, will keep your teeth from moving till next tray is ready. It's definitely better than not wearing any trays!
Hi Rzayan,The etching creates small grooves on the surface of the tooth that allows your Invisalign attachments to grip onto. Since they were sliding before, the etching is necessary for the Invisalign to work it's magic properly. When all is said and done, your veneers can be polished smooth again.
Hi there, Simple answer is no. The teeth sit in the lower jaw and invisalign does not move the chin down with intrusion. Oral surgery or a genioplasty is used to move the chin if desired, Best regards, Dr. Ed. Lowe
Congratulations on your new smile! I would recommend asking your dentist why the refinements are needed. If the refinement is for aesthetic reasons you can take a pass. If it is needed to make a correction in your bite it is in your best interest to complete the treatment. Good Luck
