Uneven Bite After Invisalign

When teeth move around, things change.  Many changes are temporary and you should not be concerned until treatment is complete or near completion.  Sometimes things get worse before they get better, but you should trust that they WILL get better.

Your bite probably won't feel even during the early phases. I wouldn't pay too much attention to it in the interim. I WOULD pay close attention to it as it nears the end. It's even possible that you will need to have the actual fit of your teeth adjusted when you get to the very end.

As long as it's not producing pain in your jaw (your TMJ) I wouldn't get too worried about it. If you continue to feel concerned, you will want to call and let the Orthodontist know what sort of problem you are having.

 

Odds are good that it will feel better in a couple of weeks.

Thanks,

It is not uncommon for the bite to feel "funny" at the start of treatment....it happens with braces too!...often it will not feel perfect until you stop wearing the aligners full time in retention
