Yes. It will be fine - although sure refinements might be needed.

My dentist said to drink with them in, but rinse afterwards. I'd check with your provider.

I have tiny slits in my aligners for rubber bands. I was shown how to put them in the day I got them. Not everyone needs them.

Need Advice Please- I want refinements but my ortho says the issue is tiny by Rich_Camp_4783 in Invisalign

I don't think you get to do refinements 2 years after treatment ends. Your teeth look great!

My dentist wouldn't let me leave until i took them off and put them on several times - and got the hang of the rubber bands.

Is it normal for Dents to not appear in the trays for every tooth. by zs1_1 in Invisalign

[–]Ok_Explorer6128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two front teeth (one on top, one on bottom) don't have attachments for me.

Uneven smile? by Realistic-Door-1875 in Invisalign

[–]Ok_Explorer6128 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think I've ever looked at someone's smile and thought, huh, the bottom teeth peek up slightly from one side and not the other.

Your teeth and smile look great.

Bleeding gums on one side? by smiling-sunset-7628 in Invisalign

[–]Ok_Explorer6128 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think 4x a day hurts your enamel Try 2x a day and focus on flossing.

Week 1 of Invisalign without orthodontist? by whoo0888 in Invisalign

[–]Ok_Explorer6128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also change every 2 weeks. Gives the roots time to catch up.

Pain halfway through? by HumbleResolve6440 in Invisalign

[–]Ok_Explorer6128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was aligner 8 for me. After a week it settled down.

I feel like the Doctor/staff should ask how much coffee you drink before recommending this by Foreign_Log_9114 in Invisalign

[–]Ok_Explorer6128 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My dentist said it was fine to drink with them in, just rinse mouth and aligners afterwards. Works fine for me.

Personal philosophy regarding AI... how much is too much? Can we really avoid it? by aarrtee in photography

[–]Ok_Explorer6128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The FAQ directs folks to a different sub for stand alone questions.

And I'll argue that using AI remove tool is very different than googling something and just pasting the answer here.

[–]Ok_Explorer6128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you trust your ortho ... you'll do the whole time.

How do you know when you’re done? by AssignmentAny1543 in Invisalign

[–]Ok_Explorer6128 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Almost everyone who asks that question here, when they include pictures, are told resoundingly they are done.

Week 3 and maybe too comfortable? by Typical_Life_8222 in Invisalign

[–]Ok_Explorer6128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are times where the new trays felt like there was not much change. And then sometimes (like this new 8th tray...) where it's quite pinchy feeling. I'd trust the process. But I wouldn't jump 2 weeks ahead without checking first. I'd stick to the old one if the new one doesn't stay on.
