My Invisalign attachments have come off, but my dentist doesn’t seem to be that concerned.

December 15th, 2011

Hi I’m just starting my Invisalign odyssey, in am about a week into my first tray and two of the attachments have fallen off. i rang the dentists office and the receptionist told me as long as the aligner stayed in it wasn’t a big deal if the attachments had fallen off. Is this right? otherwise whats the point in having the attachments? any help you give on the matter to help me clear it up would be great.

I am worried about the pressure of braces on my teeth, is Invisalign a good option?

October 26th, 2011

how much pressure does invisalign put on the teeth? I had braces when I was younger that were fixed and i have never felt pain like it. I stuck with them for a month but then could not take it any longer and had to have them out. I am now 30 and would really love to have a decent smile, but i have been put off for years by the thought of all that pain again! I though id ask about invisalign, just as it isn’t a fixed brace, so i was hoping that it wouldn’t be as painful. Am i right in thinking this, or are there any other braces that would be even gentler? Im not worried about how long it takes as long as it gets done.

thank you doctor

I have nearly completed my Invisalign treatment but have suffered some root resorption, should I continue with the brace?

October 6th, 2011

Hi,

i have recently been having invisalign treatment until i started have horrible pain in on of top teeth. It turned out that i am suffering root absorption with about a quarter of the root gone. My dentist says i should stop the treatment but i feel that my teeth are almost perfect, what do you suggest?
also what can you do about root absoprtion? should i have the tooth taken out and replaced with an implant and if i did this could i continue with invisalign?

thank you
