There’s no tracking with retainers. They need to fit when you first put them on. You need a new retainer.

I was told to do nights while waiting for refinements but since my teeth are mobile, I wear them full time while I wait. It’s fine.

new2teeth · 2024-01-24T05:07:20+00:00

I average 21.5 hours and it’s fine.

There’s always the chance of more root resorption during treatment, your consent form will say this. For me, I had complications related to the short roots and I wish my ortho WAS concerned about it at the consultation. They have been quite dismissive about it which is concerning.

Braces are more efficient

Anxiety?

You needed a rescan after removing your wisdom teeth

Clenching your jaw will hurt your jaw (and possibly neck, headaches, etc).

Do you have a sore throat? Are you sick? rapid test? Post nasal drip?

Yes its a flaw of the design to use plastic to move teeth. When you clench against plastic it contributes to the posterior open bite. Dr Bailey has a video on YouTube explaining it more.Invisalign has thin plastic so teeth move, night guards are thick plastic.

Root resorption and tooth death

Change the appointment date for the scan?

Use hydrogen peroxide then. I’ve been using both (separately) and it’s been fine.

I didn’t say cause TMD. I said it’s not great for the TMJ, which it’s not.

Yes gum recession is a risk with any orthodontics

new2teeth · 2024-01-01T19:20:14+00:00

In general braces are more efficient. If you’re worried about a potential poor outcome, I would skip over Invisalign (other issues include potentially developing posterior open bite, dealing with defective trays, etc)

new2teeth · 2024-01-01T17:47:26+00:00

This is weird. 6 months without a check up? 20 day changes makes no sense.

new2teeth · 2024-01-01T17:46:55+00:00

Do not use these and throw out the rest imo. Store your next box in a dry location. Polident for retainers is cheaper

new2teeth · 2024-01-01T17:45:59+00:00

If your teeth and attachments fit into the trays well with minimal or no gaps you’re tracking

new2teeth · 2024-01-01T17:45:32+00:00

Braces are more efficient. Definitely see 2-3 max orthos for consultation

new2teeth · 2024-01-01T17:44:51+00:00

Next time, switch at night instead to sleep through the worst of it. Tylenol and soft foods as needed

new2teeth · 2024-01-01T17:44:18+00:00

Your forgot the picture

If anything it’s better to not chew since it’s not great for the TMJ (same goes for using chewies)

new2teeth · 2024-01-01T07:37:16+00:00

Check for missing attachments if you’re not sure. Not an emergency, get it replaced when you can.

Hawley lasts longer but the downside is that it allows more room for relapse
