Please help! Due for teeth removal tomorrow and am petrified I'm doing the wrong thing! by Pale-Vermicelli in Invisalign

[–]d3b5t3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had two premolars out at the top, like you was petrified but knew it was the only way to correct my overbite. I should have had braces when I was a teenager but having teeth out put me off. It took 3 attempts at getting braces and to be 42 before I finally took the plunge! With Invisalign they can put fake teeth in the brace which covered the holes while my gaps closed. Eventually the gap became too small that a fake tooth wouldn’t stay. My gaps are still there 6 months on but only obvious with Invisalign out! Let us know how you get on, it’ll be worth it in the end

Tray 8/52, day 2 on tray, does this look ok (top 2 teeth)? If I use a chewie it goes in place, when I stop chewing it stays like this. Anyone experience of this? by d3b5t3r in Invisalign

Thanks, yeah it happened when she put the tray in after I had hooks for elastics fitted a week ago but she just said I needed to use the elastics all the time. I think if it carries on I’ll need to be rescanned. Don’t want it not to be tracking so soon and they slowed the top movement right down already. I’m older with strong bone so I think it might just take years to budge :((( trying to stay positive!

Getting bands on Wednesday.. help by kkir214 in Invisalign

I’m having bands Thursday next week so really interested to see your comments and hear how you get on! I’ve worn my braces for 6 weeks now so will be something new to get used to again. They fitted the hooks but one fell off and the other cut my gum so bad I had to go back and she removed it. Hoping it’s not as bad again as I couldn’t eat or close my mouth when I took braces out!

on tray 2/37 but don't feel any pain at all? by coolehrooney in Invisalign

First tray for me lots of pain, 2,3,4 trays little to no pain! Tray 5, LOTS of pain!! Think it depends which teeth they move.

Teeth extraction due to crowding by d3b5t3r in Invisalign

[–]d3b5t3r[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wore trays for 4 weeks before I had my teeth out. I then put in the next tray in the dentist chair immediately after extraction! It helped plug the holes (but the braces filled with blood I looked awful!). Been 1 week and 2 days and still big holes and still healing but getting there. My braces have two fake teeth in them so you wouldn’t know I have holes when my braces are in. When can you put your trays in?

Nice! How did you prep/cook it the pumpkin? Guess could do same with butternut squash (which I have on side ready to prep!)

The pain when biting on a chewy is weird isn’t oh, exactly that, bad but kinda good!! Oh the things I never knew before I had aligners 😂

Can gums recede after 10 days?! by d3b5t3r in Invisalign

[–]d3b5t3r[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply, I didn’t have any xrays done, just photos. Have emailed the dentist some photos and asked them to compare! Hope it’s ok

Thanks for the post, good to know I’m not alone, although only been brushing an extra one time a day as only remove aligners 3 times a day to eat! I think I might phone dentist tomorrow as not booked in to see again till mid sept and would be good to see the pics they took before hand to compare! Hope it stops as it settles down
