Q. I\’m on my final set of aligners and they don\’t fit at all, they won\’t click into place or anything, they simply do not fit. Has my ortho made a mistake? I have to wait a week to see her!,
A. Call your dentist, if the aligner before this one fit perfectly it may be an error in the final aligner or maybe the aligners have not been fitting well for a while, go and see your dentist if your teeth have not moved as anticipated you may need new moulds taken and some more aligners.

Q. I have to wait 3 weeks to receive refinements, is this right? It seems like a long time to me! thanks,
A. Yes that is about right it takes time for your dentist to design the required teeth movements and then have the new aligners manufactured and delivered.

Q. i\’m currently employed at an office and i\’m going to undergo invisalign. I know you have to take out your trays and clean them every time you drink something or whatever but i\’m going to find it very difficult. i can\’t keep leaving my workplace every time i have some coffee so what do you recommend i should do?? thank you,
A. You need to think about reducing how much coffee you drink, you need to substitute the coffee for cold water. I have so many clients who didnt think they would be able to cope and they have all done really well.

Q. hi, one of my teeth has sort of moved up into my gum since having the invisalign. i\’m really concerned do you think elastics will help me? i\’m not due for an appointment with my ortho till next week so any advice would be great. thank you,
A. Phone your dentist, it might be part of the plan and the tooth may just be moved temporarily.

Q. hello, i\’ve finished the invisalign treatment (nearly) currently needing refinements to fix a few annoying teeth. Thing is they don\’t seem to be working, my front tooth is still crooked and won\’t move! i\’m on the 5/8 refinements and beginning to get very worried. what should i do?,
A. Go and seeyour dentist you may need a second refinement, the tooth may need an attachment placed on it. The other solution can be very short term fixed braces.

Q. Hello my invisalign treatment was going really well until i noticed that one of my back teeth was protruding even more. I went to my orthodontist who said i may need attachments to fix this. Will the attachments be visible? I am a very self conscious person you see and do not want to be teased.,
A. No. Attachments on back teeth aren\’t visible, if you want the solution then you have to put up with the attachment.
