Definitely think its normal with a little movement in the front teeth. Your teeth are always abit "wobbly" even if you have not got them done... I can feel movement in my front teeth (and I imagine I can see it too) if I grab it by my fingertips are rock it. Anyway, if you would like to ge...

Invisalign works over small distances... If you have held the Invisalign trays in your hands you will understand. They are very strong between two adjacent points (say from one tooth to an adjacent tooth - <1 to 5 milimetres maybe) and can thus move teeth using the strength in the plastic (it will k...

Invisalign - what it can and cannot do

Hi all! I would like to propose that someone assemble the things that we know about Invisalign do's and dont's in a sticky thread, because you really have to read alot of threads to get some kind of idea about its effectiveness and there are alot of diverse opinions on its effectiveness.

Re: Invisalign ruined my bite...I don't understand what happ

I think someone is trying to troll here... :paperbag: That said, I would advise EVERYONE getting theirs done, to see a REAL orthodontist and NOT just trust a dentist who's taken a 14 day course in Invisalign to correct your teeth.
