hiya I saw my dentist on Thurs for my second set of alligners and he said he had just been away on a lecture with a top woman who dealt with invislign and whitening and she said that the whitening will whiten the attachments and the teeth below so he said I could start doing mine which I have (i hav...

hi I am over a week into my first set of alligners and they seem to have moved away from my teeth closest to the gums - is this supposed to happen or have I stretched them in some way whilst taking them in and out ???? Not sure if this happens as your teeth move - I have been very strict with myself...

HI I started invislign last Thursday morning (4 days ago) and already I am having difficulty flossing my teeth (just a few of them) I am finding it hard to get the floss in between them - could they (my teeth) really have moved that much in 4 days ??
