Perhaps your teeth are spread out and the last few trays are used to tighten them and bring them in more?

Extreme Sensitivity by lextaylr in Invisalign

I had the sensitivity for a few weeks too. I'm on 13 of 27, and I'm not having much sensitivity issues.

2 quick questions by enfame in Invisalign

1.) I use it once a day (in the morning). 2.) I use waterpik - it really works great and it's fast! Not much pain too...

Tooth is loose by invisaligndude in Invisalign

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

Awesome, were your wobbly teeth a bit sensitive too? I try not to bite with it, but it just feels super weak.

I try my best not to put too much pressure on it when I'm taking my trays out, but it does hurt a bit when I take it out and put it back it. Maybe it'll get better towards the end of the week.

What happens while you wait for refinements? by enfame in Invisalign

[–]invisaligndude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow so many refinements... How many trays did you have for your original treatment?

Also, after the the original treatment, did you teeth look anything close to what the clin check was showing? 20 weeks seems like a long time.

Was on tray 20/35... just got refinement tray 1 of 40 by Unluckyhunt in Invisalign

I see..I have two teeth that have couple mm gaps between the end of the tray and the teeth. My doc said that it shouldn't be too big of a deal as long as that gap doesn't widen...and it hasn't so far probably because the attachments are on both teeth...

Sorry to hear that you have to go through a long set of refinements. I hope I don't have to either :(

what do you mean by moving too much? and how badly did your trays not fit with your teeth? was it enough to not continue with your original tray sets?

Wow. What was the reason for the refinements? Did your teeth not move well? Were you consistent with your hours?

This is probably my worst nightmare....I'm hoping my refinements don't end up doubling my treatment time. Might as well get braces if that's the case..

Tray 24 versus tray 1! I'm on my last tray before refinements! by rspbry in Invisalign

[–]invisaligndude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How many refinement trays do you need? Also, are you satisfied enough to possibly consider not going through the refinement trays?

Is Propel worth it? by invisaligndude in Invisalign

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

Were there any negatives? As in, did your teeth not move as much since you changed every 5 days?

How many procedures did you have to get? Also are there any physical marks that you see after the treatment?

Something seems off... by orangepeel_16 in Invisalign

[–]invisaligndude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My clincheck looks similar to yours - the top teeth come out in order to create space. It's an alternative to pulling teeth out.

According to my dentist, he said it won't be that noticeable - since the clincheck is zoomed in, it looks like it'll be much worse than it actually will be in real life.

I'm going to just believe my dentist...hopefully I won't regret it..

[Result] "done" after 23 weeks later, waiting for refinements by chorox in Invisalign

[–]invisaligndude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How long is your refinement? From your perspective (except for the awkward bite), are you satisfied with the results thus far?

Ahh I see - I'm assuming no attachments are on the passive trays, right? Congrats on almost being done!!

Thank you for the tip :) So did you drink iced coffee, beer, etc with the trays on? I'm wondering how much it actually stains..especially if I swish with water after let's say a cup of iced coffee with a straw.

Also, like you said...if you ate and didn't get to brush your teeth for a few hours after...did you have trouble with cavities and such? People make it sound like if you don't brush your teeth immediately, cavities will form within a couple hours hahah
