Is sensitive treatment as a result of Invisalign and something to worry about?

May 31st, 2011

Hi Doctor

i have recently started my Invisalign treatment and am around 2 months in but my teeth are still sensitive from time to is the normal. I worry a little bit more than most because i have been told that I have short roots and could suffer from root absorption and the general sensitivity is coming from the tops of my teeth. I have booked an appointment to see my dentist but in the meantime would like some extra advice to make a considered decision. In your estimation doctor, think it wise to stop treatment completely?

thank you for your time

I had a brace when I was younger but my teeth have relapsed, is Invisalign a viable treatment?

April 27th, 2011

as a child i had a head brace to correct many imperfection with my teeth such as a large overbite and overcrowding, the treatment was very painful and stupidly i didn’t wear the retainer i was given and so my teeth have drifted back into being crooked, not as bad as before but still noticable. My question is are the invisalign treatment a viable choice for me, are they strong enough and finally how painful are they as i really, really didn’t enjoy my head brace,

Many thanks

I have extremely sensitive teeth but really need a brace, would I be suitable for the Invisalign treatment?

However, i do need orthodontic treatment on my top teeth and would prefer to have invisalign treatment as it seems the gentlest of all brace treatment. Would you say this is true and do you have any advice on helping sensitive teeth?

thanks
