I may not be the "model" invisalign patient, but I do wear my trays 22 hours or more a day...I'm an active 24 year old, and I go out to bars/clubs all the time, especially on the weekends, and I drink wine, and shots without straws and mixed drinks (with a straw) with my trays in. Just mak...

Hi!
I know that this post about the Retainer Container is older, but I was just wondering where I can purchase this?

Please advise...thanks so much!

Hi! I'm getting ready to start my invisalign journey, and have been researching for months. I'm a very unique case, as I am in the process of getting dental implants, however, need to get braces to move some teeth before I can do so. At the moment, I am missing 5 upper teeth (I just never had them d...

Does anyone have any thoughts/comments about this?

-The tool that helps you removed aligners. I'm getting invisalign and will have attachments/buttons. Just thought this might make it easier. Is it necessary?

Thanks.

Hi! I'm getting my invisalign trays in a few weeks, and I wanted to get everything in order for their arrival (haha i sound like I'm about to have a baby, lol!). I just wanted to know what everyone has found to be the best cleaner. I planned on ordering RetainerBrite and using that to soak the trays...

Thank you so much for your reassurance!!! So, if they fall out of the tray, can you just put them back in? I have no idea what they will even look like...all my dentist said is that they look like real teeth and will be hard in the tray, so they wont be like just a soft spot.

Thanks for your help.

Hi! I just had a quick question. I'm missing 5 teeth on the top of my mouth, and am en route to getting dental implants. However i need to get braces before the implants can be placed due to spacing on one of the sides (and while my sinus lift procedure heals up for 9 months), so this is being down ...

Thank you for your advice...so you would suggest keep the aligners in then? If I drink with a straw, will that stain the aligners?

Hi! I am an active 23 year old that is going to embark on my invisalign experience too. I just wanted to know your thoughts on drinking alcohol with the aligners in. I know some people only drink water with them in, which is pretty much all I drink, however on nights I go out, to a bar or whatever, ...

Hi!
Just curious...I know obviously you can use mouthwash when you're aligners arent in, but can you use mouthwash while you're aligners are in? Are should you just stick with listerine packs? Thanks for the help!

I've seen a lot of posts saying that people can't chew gum with Invisalign, but as someone who is about to get Invisalign, and someone who in the past when I was younger had metal braces and was not "supposed" to chew gum either and still did...I was just wondering if anyone has come acros...

Hi! I am currently on the long road to getting dental implants. Some back story first: I am 23 years old and due to genetics, do not have several upper adult teeth (5 to be exact). About a year ago, these 5 baby teeth were pulled, as they were beginning to get very loose, and I was given a partial d...
