Yes, it is possible to drink smoothies with invisalign on, however, after finishing your smoothy, you should remove and wash the tray and brash your teeth as well. This is done to avoid sugar trapped between the tray and the teeth. This sugar can cause decay and decalcification of your enamel
Hi, Agurl1. I don't recommend drinking anything but water with you Invisalign aligners in. Drinks such as smoothies can have a lot of sugar. The smoothie can get inside you aligners and get trapped in there. As such, the sugar would just be sitting on your teeth for an extended period of time which could leave to cavities. Best practice would be to remove your aligners before drinking. To take it a step further, rinse out your mouth with water or even drink some water before placing your aligners back in. Good look with your Invisalign treatment!
Usually the cost of Essex is anywhere from 150 to 250 dollars but some charge more or less depending on the area and overhead. Essex retainer do not last for many years. Ask your doctor for a permanent bonded retainer if you are a good candidate for that. This type of retainer lasts much...
I think Invisalign or braces would work but you certainly need many more than 10 aligners to get an adequate result. I would also recommend a fixed bonded retainer when the teeth are aligned.
No it is not normal. Buttons do occasionally fall off but it is a rare occurance. Visit your dentist and make sure the buttons are replaced.
