Metal Mouth Message Board

thanks, I tried to call today but I did not get an answer, assuming the office was closed for the Holiday. I will call back Monday, although she is only in the office Fridays (in my regular dentists office) maybe an assistant can help me or something. I do not mind treatment that much but i am also ...

Well today is the day I start my last aligner. I went to put it in and it will not fit properly over my teeth, my last tray I was in the ortho's office and at first it was being stubborn but she got it in. i am at home now trying to get it and I am having trouble :( If i do it from the middle and li...

thank you =)

Yes it is probably all fine. After all, it is only tray 2. I'm sure the plan is all going to work out accordingly. I wish I had a copy of my clincheck. My next appnt is July 10th maybe I can ask for one.

Hi, I have a question about one of my teeth that is moving. I am on my first bottom tray and only one tooth had to be moved slightly. I have noticed that it is moving and there is a space now, meaning the tooth looks like it is moving more out, when in fact it should be moving in...(i think) Im no d...

I am wondering why you need to have both?

My ortho told me I had a choice, either a bonded retainer OR my last aligner i chose (Last aligner as retainer)

Hi, im not sure about them being available in the uk....try google? Or just a check in your local drugstore they should be with all the floss etc...

they are fairly new, they are still marketed as a "hot new item" so im not sure if you guys get things later ?

Hi, I know this sounds yucky but I have read so many people saying they experience dry mouth with Invisalign, but I have been actually having the opposite happen! I feel like my mouth is accumulating MORE saliva than ever before!!!! it's annoying, every 2 seconds I'm swallowing .....anyone else?

im already on day 3 and i have to say it is getting easier to take them out and put them back in. The only thing is my 2 front teeth are sore, and if i bite down on them (if they touch my bottom front teeth i feel a little "Zing" but it hasnt stopped me from eating anything normally im jus...

Welcome all !! Ive found this to be very handy!

My gums bleed a little when removing the upper tray. I ate breakfast this morning and then after i brushed, my lower gum started bleeding-but i only have an upper tray? weird. well, i tried to search and i found a few people saying this has happened to them.
Anyone?

I just thought I'd add a tip if anyone was interested- I have started carrying Colgate Wisps (found in drugstores, CVS etc...) they are little travel brushes with a bead of fresh and cleaning solution and have a floss/pick on the opposite end. They require no water and perfect for on the go. I use t...

Thanks!!! It's painful taking them out, then putting them back in. I actually was out and I had to take out my aligner. I was having a bit of trouble, and ended up scratching my gum a little and it started bleeding :( ... But I washed it and ate, put it back! I know its going to take getting used to...

Hi, after 6 weeks of waiting-I finally just got home. Here's my story: I went in and my ortho said she wasn't happy with the first clincheck, which involved 12 trays. (Originally she ordered Invisalign express). She explained to me that there would be no extra charge to me to order more aligners (Th...

oh and by the way Lauren-I did express. Im not sure how many aligners i guess 10 or 12-and she told me ill be done in 6 months. I only have one tooth (my front) to straighten! All my teeth line up nicely and are straight...my bottoms there is one that is just slightly crooked, so im doing top and bo...

Hi! Well how ironic is this? This morning I called Invisalign customer service and they said that they should arrive on Mon or Tues. I was so excited! Then, about 20 minutes later my phone rang and it was my dentist telling me that my aigners were in!!!!! I was so excited..........only to learn that...
