Most patients may experience some discomfort in their teeth a few days after starting each new phase. This is normal. In fact, it reflects that the Invisalign aligners are working and the teeth are moving towards their final position. The discomfort should gradually disappear within a few days of inserting each new aligner. If not, check it with your doctor.
Like all the orthodontic treatments, the aligners can temporarily affect the speech, as well as cause some sensation of sliding on the lips on the aligners for a couple of days. However, once your tongue has become accustomed to the presence of aligners in your mouth, any minimal interference in speech should disappear.
Some discrepancies between the new aligner and your teeth may be normal, since the teeth need a certain time to adjust to the new position. In case of significant adjustment problems, please inform your doctor.
In general no. In comparison with traditional orthodontics, you can usually eat and drink what you want because the aligner has to be removed before. For that reason, in general there is no dietary restriction unless it is specifically indicated by the doctor.
We do not recommend drinking anything except cold water while wearing your aligners, to avoid the appearance of decay and spots and not to damage the aligner.
No, you can´t. The chewing gum sticks in the aligners. We always recommend removing them for meals and snacks.
We do not recommend using tobacco products while you wear the aligners because of the possible discoloration risk of them.
Depending on the specifications of the treatment, some of the movements will need “attachments” or “ridges” to help the aligner adhere to the tooth. These bumps and ridges is where the aligner adheres to "attaches" or grips that the doctor places on your teeth. The "attaches" are small pieces of composite that the doctor will fix to your teeth and that will allow the aligners to adhere to them. The ridges or ridges are small dentures in your aligners. The doctor will use one or more of these techniques to achieve the desired movement.
In case if your aligner is lost or broken, you must inform your doctor immediately. The doctor probably will recommend you to start wearing just the previos aligner or immediately following the one that has been broken or lost. New set of aligners will be probably ordered to replace the lost or damaged ones, which should arrive in a few days.
In case of breakage or loss of an attache, you should immediately get in touch with your doctor.
