Are my Invisalign braces breaking my composite fillings or is my dentist doing shoddy job? (Photos)

Mimi J in LaceyJun 26, 2019
Since wearing Invisalign, front top composite fillings have broke several times in same place. Dentist says aligner pressure causing them to break. Ortho says it should not. Very frustrating, got same fillings re-done (1-3x) front broke after 2 days. So walk around w-broke teeth til aligners are done? Is this normal? I finished set of 24 & set 19. Now need yet another set. Getting crowns on top & bottom front 4 But told I had to fix overbite & grinding damage b4 getting. Plz help!

If you are satisfied with the position of your teeth- there is no benefit for continued refinements. Just order the Vivera retainers.

Hi and thank you for your question. I think you case will work without rubber bands, although they are often helpful. I anticipate that you bite will get better with using Invisalign and IPR.All the best to you.

You look to be a good Invisalign candidate.  Have a dentist perform an exam to make sure you are free of gum disease and cavities before starting.  Once cleared, find an orthodontist and have your teeth straightened.  Good luck.
