You should remove your aligners when you brush, floss, drink anything but water, and eating anything (including lollipops). Even more important with sugar since your teeth will decay during the invisalign process
Doing this once in a while is fine. Try and remove the trays ASAP and rinse with water. Then brush as soon as possible. Do not do this all the time because sugar not good held against the teeth. Us common sense.
You should not eat nor drink nor suck any solid foods or any liquids with sugar while wearing Invisalign. Your teeth will ROT!
The cost will depend on your specific case, its severity, and the area that you live in. Palatal expanders are generally not used in a 20-year old because the palatal suture closes at around 12-14 years old.
Your Dr has determined that extractions and braces are needed. There are many reasons for this and your treatment is best done this way. What other people have had done does not make it right for you. you are not a car you are a person and unique. Aliners can not close posterior spaces and brace...
Tooth movement does cause soreness. trays need to be left in and not be taken in and out alot or things will get worse. If the pain gets worse then talk to your Dr and make sure things are ok. Not perio or abcesses. Sometime an aspirn will help but time is the best relief
A 4mm overjet can be a warning sign of another developing problem. You have to ask the question of why this has occurred. Did you have expansion of your upper jaw with your treatment? Has your tongue posture been looked at? Are you getting clicking in your jaws?...
I would do what you suggested. Call your Dr and get in to see him whem he comes back. He might want to remake 3 tray for you.
Why do cell phones cost so much?? They are just plastic, some rare elements and glass. Probably about $15-20 on the raw market. Melt down a car....what do you have? We love what we do and how it can improve our patients' life but it isn't a hobby. It is a struggle...
