I have had linguals for the last 6 months. During my treatment, my gums have become very swollen and painful. On friday, I was at the ortho and they actually had to take the wires out to let my gums heal. I still don't have them back in yet. I visited my dentist today for a cleaning and she recommended that my linguals be taken off (her partner told me the same thing 3 months ago) . It seems that my body is recognizing the brackets as a foriegn object and it fighting them off. The whole reason that I chose linguals was that they are invisible.
I haven't been back into my ortho yet, but she wants my wires to remain off for the week. So, I don't know what my options are. Hopefully, Invisalign at least on the top. Has anyone else had this problem? Please share! Thanks.
anyone switch from linguals to invisalign

Linguals weren't a problem for me like they were for you...
...but I am making the switch to Invisalign from linguals.
I'd be happy to share my experiences with you once my aligners are in.
