Im using Invisalign for 4 months now, Im almost finishing. But today when I woke up I took my braces off and I saw in the back of the treatment a white fluid like pus, with a weird smell just in that area. I dont have pain at all I just had sensitive teeth since 2 months ago. Ive never had sensitive teeth before and I brush my teeth very well after eating. What I can do?
My aligners just came in for my Invisalign treatment and I also just developed a tooth infection in a lower back molar that will require a root canal ASAP, before I was even able to start Invisalign. What can I expect now? Will I have to get new aligners? How expensive should I expect adjustments to be? Do I have other options?
I'm on my first tray of Invisalign and on my second night I experienced intense pain inside my left ear, pressure and deafness. The next morning there is now puss leaking out and the pressure + deafness has now moved to my right ear. This has never happened before at the same time regarding middle ear infections.
The teeth needed to be extracted before I could start my treament. The Othrodontist said immediately, but I fear the trays may allow bacteria to gather in the open wounds and a possible infection may occur. Is this correct or am I being ridiculous?
I have a historic root canal in my first lower molar on one side (25 years+). It has caused me no problem at all, and looks totally fine. My dentist says I need the tooth extracted before they will do invisalign, as on xray there is some residual infection below the tooth. Is this is a problem, or specific to this dentist. Thanks,
