Asked By:Revhtree

I started wearing invisalign almost 3 weeks ago. My dentist said I need to wear my trays for 6 weeks each. I'm reading that 3 weeks is max. I already feel like my tray is too loose as I can now pop it in and out with my tongue. Before I could not do that. Please advise!

The folks at Align have a lot of experience, so their advice is likely accurate. You may submit an alternative to see if they think it would work. I would consider regular braces instead. Much more predictable and faster.

I think invisalign would be a good option. However, looking at your photo you may have a slight openbite. Normally upper teeth need to go over your lower teeth. The photo can be deceiving so I would recommend you go and see a local orthodontist to make sure your bite is proper. I think you teeth...

Doctor threw out tray number 1 and accidentally gave me the attachment template. How should I handle this?
