What Do I Do About my Bottom Tray Not Fitting?

August 1, 2013
Asked By:LesIsMore

On my 1st set of tray, day 3 & since day 1 my top tray fits magically(painful,don't get me wrong,but it fits).But the bottom tray only goes down about 1/2 way on my teeth,it does not sit directly on top of my teeth.My dentist said to wear it a week and see if settles after wearing it a few days,but with it not fitting the bottom rim of plastic is making my tongue raw and very painful.It feels like it's working a little,but I'm just annoyed that I may have to get my trays remade and add 3 more weeks.

How Long After a Deep Scaling Will Invisalign Molds Be Made?
Lance Timmerman, DMD, MAGD says:

It takes 4-6 weeks to have Invisalign aligners made after impressions, so if impressions were taken after your periodontal treatment, that is a decent ballpark guess.  If impressions weren't made, then ask your dentist when you will be ready.

First Day of Invisalign. Unbelievable Pain! When Will It Subside?
Lance Timmerman, DMD, MAGD says:

As the bone adapts to the pressure from the aligners, the pain will ease.  As you switch out subsequent aligners, the bone will already be altered, so pain will be less.  The worst pain is at the beginning.
