I have 6 porcelain veneers on my top front teeth. I asked my ortho if we can avoid attachments on my veneers. Im on my 2nd set of veneers. They are 12 yrs old, expensive & in good shape. I cant handle getting new veneers. My ortho said that they need to at least put attachmnts on my outter veneers. Im extremely hesitant on putting attachmnts on them. I need them to stay in good shape. Is it safe to put attachments/glue on porcelain veneers? Is there any risk in chips, cracks, color damage, etc to veneers from attachmeents?
I finished my invisalign treatment & had fixed retainers placed on my lower teeth, two months ago. Just the other day, the glue on the wire came off one tooth! the following day, I had an appointment at my orthodontics office and a hygienist replaced the glue...now after a couple of days, I am noticing spaces between these teeth that weren't there before! I am so upset about this...is it because the wire was tweaked when it was re-glued? Will I have to do treatment again to fix these spaces?
I recently started my Invisalign process this past week. I have the glue on at least half a dozen on my top and bottom teeth, some of which are very sharp and pointy. When I'm eating meals this can be very painful as my inner lips are always rubbing against these sharp pieces of glue. What can I do about this?
My last appointment with my orthodontis was on march, she put on buttons and gave me many sets of invasline. My new appointment was today, she said many buttons were lost, need to be reattached. But this time was different, she covered my whole teeth with adhesive!!! I found out when I got home. Is this normal? Will it hurt my teeth, and how do I get rid of this yellowish, I can't even smile, it's bothering me.
I got Invisalign a few months ago and I was very specific with the doctor that I had a porcelain crown on my front left tooth. I'm super cautious of that tooth because it was a very expensive crown. I had to have two attachments to that particular tooth and now the color and texture of my crown is different from the rest of my tooth. I asked the dentist about it and he just says it needs polishing at the end of treatment, but the color is way off. Please help
I just had attachments added to my teeth. I was expecting bumps, but not how awful the resin smeared all over my teeth feels. I complained about my teeth feeling rough on the front, the bottom, and even the back of one tooth, and he tried to polish it off, but the rough feeling remains. I'm concerned this may be bad for my teeth. I also worry that the heavy-duty polishing/grinding required to remove this stuff will harm the enamel. Will my teeth ever feel smooth again?
