I've been doing some research on invisalign. I met with a provider and he stated my case would take 3-4 months to correct with invisalign. Will teeth fully revert back to their original positions post-invisalign without retention? Also, since my case is not severe, would it be possible to only wear my aligners less than the 24hr recommended time? Just curious as I may not be able to wear then during the day due to work. Thank you in advance.

Answer: All orthodontics will fail without retention
Talk to your Dr who will know best what you can expect. This last part is very important and should be a short time. Also during retention more can be done during this phase. Don't bail out now you have worked too hard you are almost at the finish line don't fall down
It will cost more to do so for the obvious reasons. Best to talk to your Dr and see what you both decide. Sometimes the initial newness wears off and the big deal of changing fades.you could give it a little more time and try to adjust. You can alway change but it will cost you added dollars
Pain is the way our bodies tell us to help. I would call your Dr as soon as possible and see what is going on. It might be a simple issue or may need further investigation. What ever yourmDr will be able to,help. Stoping your trays is not good either so call ASAP
