Metal Mouth Message Board

My orthodontist is trying to tell me that the Invisalign tray will last a very long time. I find that hard to believe because I see how nasty they can get after 2 weeks.

I bet if you ask for a new retainer, they try to sell you the Invisalign "Insurance Plan."

She told me that she would make one but they aren't as comfortable as Invisalign. I really don't want it, I would just like an Invisalign tray without bumps. Don't you think that Invisalign should include that?

So, I'm getting close to being done with my sets. 15/15 on the bottom and 15/16 on top. At my appt about a month ago, my orthodontist told me that she would make me a retainer and that it would be less clear and more flexible that Invisalign. I wasn't very happy about that since I'm already used to ...

Congratulations!! They look perfect!

I have to say that I am very happy so far. I'm seeing results already on tray six and that's very exciting! I also love the fact that you can compare your old trays to your new ones to see what to expect. I've had very minimal pain with these so far as well. The only thing that I really miss is grab...

I use Sensodyne as recommended by my dentist due to a lot of sensitivity from brushing too hard.

I'm glad to hear that this isn't a biggie. I have to have it done the next time that I go in on March 24th.

I'm so excited! I just started tray 6 of 16 on top and 15 on the bottom. I can actually see things changing already! I just wanted to share this photo:

I'm on tray 3 of 16 on top and 3 of 15 on bottom. I keep a blog with updates if you are interested. See the link below.

She told me that there may have been moisture when she put it on so she was really careful when reattaching it. She seemed really confident that it was attached better than before. Guess not!

I just got my six attachments on Monday. Tuesday one fell off...back to the ortho on Wednesday to get a new one. Here we are at Thursday....same attachment came off in the tray AGAIN!! I know that I have heard of people losing attachments, but the same one twice within 2 days?! Anyone else have trou...

It took 3 weeks from the time the molds were taken to see my ClinCheck. My orthodontist wanted me to see it and approve that I liked the results before having the aligners made. I had my Flip video with me and she allowed me to film the computer screen of the ClinCheck.
