Is it normal for one side of my aligner to be looser than the other?

September 6th, 2011

hello

could you tell me whether is it normal for one side of my aligner to be looser than the other? Im on my 3rd aligner and it hasn’t happened for the first 2, they went loose all over towards the end of each respectively, but this looseness on only one side has never happened before and is beginning to get on my nerves, i just wanted some proper feedback before I start getting unnecessarily worried about the issue and trying to fix what’s not broken thanks for any help you can give me doctor

How long should I have to wait to receive my aligners? It has been a month

August 1st, 2011

I have been for a checkup/examination and moulds were taken for impressions of my teeth and have been sent off to the invisalign lab. That, however, was a month ago and I am still yet to receive my braces. I have rang my orthodontist and he continues to badger me off with “they’re coming soon” How long does it usually take for the aligners to be made? I know they are coming from america, but i would expect them to be here by now for the amount of money i am paying. Any help you can give would be great, and the words of another doctor, will hopefully scare my own into doing something!
thanks

What is the guidance on wearing Invisalign ‘in the bedroom’?

March 24th, 2011

This is a slightly awkward question, but would I have to take the Invisalign aligners out when ‘in the bedroom.’ If so how long can you take them out for? it would not be very attractive if I had to keep popping them in and out.

thanks
