Hi Gloria, I am having a root canal next Thursday on my lateral incisor. Im on tray 15/23. I have had a root canal on another tooth before I started invisalign and I was in a lot of pain for a few days.

Im on day 10 and was told to chew my Chewies 2-3 times a day for 15 mins each time. Just wondering if anyone was told the same & does that mean EVERY day or just the first few days of a new tray??

Thanks for the feedback people. Its now 6am (Australia), & I hardly slept last night...not sure if it was from being nervous or excited. Glad to hear that its the norm not to get attachments from day 1. I have only told my daughter & sister that today is the big day so will be interesting to...

Im getting my first invisalign tray tomorrow!!! :HugeGrin: Not sure if I should be excited or scared?? I phoned my dentist today and he said the attachments will not go on for 8 weeks...so I can get use to my trays. Is it normal to wait that long?? He is also going to email my clincheck to me, I ask...
