48 Yr Old Fixing Underbite with the Help of Invisalign Plus Acceledent. - Pennsylvania, PA

Thanks! I'm excited about my progress too and can't wait to see the end results in 6 months time! To answer your questions.. How the underbite is actually getting fixed? => Invisalign braces all the way, no tooth extraction required since there were already existing gaps and spacing (missing lower molar) between some of my teeth - my ortho said having these existing gaps are an advantage in my case - he's actually making use of them to move my teeth around. Is it a combination of arch work and elastics? => No arch work, just class III elastic bands (rabbit). Started wearing them from tray 10 onwards. Are there other things going on? => Hmmm.... Not sure if it's just me but I could almost swear using the sonic toothbrush help in speeding up the process - it vibrates while brushing so it basically works just like the Acceledent. I brush my teeth 3-4 times, sometimes up to 5 times a day by the way so I'm thinking it might have help in loosening my teeth up even further. This could jolly well be the reason why I have never encounter any pain while switching trays every time!

You know, I had that same exact feeling every time I was using my Oral-B electric toothbrush!  No idea if it helped, but it seemed like it could have :).  And now that I'm just in retainers, I wonder whether it makes my teeth move during the day while I'm not wearing them!  But it's not much, certainly, and I don't brush as much as I did while in the actual aligners.

Thank you for answering all my questions!  That makes perfect sense, about there already being extra space there, so you don't need extractions.  Now I'm even more excited to watch the process!  Gonna go up and read your update now :)

Haha..I have exactly the same thoughts too! I worried it might vibrate n loosen all my teeth too much. So these days I switch to using the sonic brush twice a day n in between with a regular brush.
