Hello- I have invisalign and have had an extraction to help with the crowding. To cover the extraction site I have a pontic attached to the tray. The problem I am having is that by the second week of brushing the trays the pontic usually comes unglued. Can you recommend an adhesive that I can use to...

Hi I am paying 7500 for full treatment with invisalign- That is for about 18 months in invisalign approx. 35 trays top & bottom- but that included everything from start to finish and for retention . I live in Ohio & I, too, thought the price was high, but I do have insurance coverage which t...

I also was only worried about getting my top teeth fixed as it was what bothered me the most when I smiled , but my ortho would only do invisalign if I agreed to do top & bottom and had the bottom extraction. I know he's right, but I wish I didn't have the big space below right now!!!

I just started invisalign this past week. Our top teeth sound exactly alike. I too have the same tooth pushed very far back and my front teeth tilt inward somewhat. I am using invisalign for that. I am 35 and never had braces as a teenager but finally decided to try invisalign. I was told that I was...

I just got invisalign 3 days ago- approx 3 hours after they extracted a lower front tooth! I handled it all well -the incentive to cover that missing tooth was all I needed. Here's the thing though- the ortho.asst. accidently put in the #3 aligner in on my bottom-OUCH!!! I thought it was just sorene...

I, too just strated invisalign 3 days ago. I'm doing ok and found that I also have some sharp edges that make my tongue sore. Since I've been lurking around here for a while I had already heard about sanding the edges and tried that and it does help- also lining the sore spots with wax while I sleep...

Your teeth are looking so nice!!! How many aligners have you worn in the picture above? My teeth are similar and I was just wondering -I am about to start my treatment. Goodluck to you as you finish yours!

How did they remove your attachments once you were finished wearing your invisalign trays? Thanks for your help.

Thank you for posting the pictures!!! I really am glad to see how the invisalign look and what they did for you!!! Your teeth look so nice! I am going today for my clincheck and am very nervous to see what they have in store for me. Thanks for your willingness to share how it worked for you! I hope ...

I am getting ready to have impressions/records done for invisalign- my ortho office said they won't charge me yet because they want to make sure if I am a true candidate for invisalign( they said that the company is the one who decides that). Is it the invisalign company that decides that or the ort...

Dr. Rick- Thanks with your help on the question about hiding the extraction on the lower part with colored plastic. Should I ask my ortho about doing that or would it be invisalign company doing that part? Also- what is your opinion about invisalign? I want it for cosmetic reasons just to straighten...

Hi Dr. Rick - I had a consult for invisalign and was told it would work for me but I would need to have a lower front tooth removed to alleviate the crowding. I really want to do this, but am having a hard time with the idea of not having a lower tooth in the front. Is there a way to have a temporar...
