I quit using my invisalign over a year ago. Can I continue, and if not, what should I do?

Question

I know..irresponsible but due to my pregnancy and things like that, i just got off track I still have the tracks on my teeth, even a bracket! I want my teeth straight but want to know how much more money it will cost. And im afraid to call my dentist :(

Call your dentist! They won't bite!Seriously, if you are embarrassed to call the dentist, call someone else....maybe an orthodontist. Tell them them what happened (use your pregnancy as an excuse if you want). Chances are, you may have to start all over again. Take your unused aligners (and the used ones if you still have them) when you go.

Just because you stopped treatment, you still have whatever months that remain from the original 2 year window.
