Change to new trays before bed helps too. Because you will sleeping when it really start to bother you.

Wear retainers once a week? You’re too nice. My ortho told me to wear them every night. 13 years later, I can count the nights I’ve not had them in on one hand.

Please go to an Orthodontist (specialist) and not a general dentist for Orthodontic treatment. I wish i knew the difference between the two. I had so many problems when i had invisalign with a general dentist. Ended up going to an Orthodontist in the end to sort it all out and the difference between the two were leagues apart.

Do not soak in warm water water can only be applied if room temperature to make sure that the aligners don’t shift by heat

[sadie]

I know you said to take them out when drinking colored drinks, if I was to drink with a straw do I have to take them out still??

[faizah]

I’m starting my treatment tomorrow. Thank you for explaining the process in a clear manner. I appreciate it.

💡 Dr. Nate discusses 10 important things to know before getting Invisalign treatment, including pain management and wearing schedule.

00:10
Pain management tips for discomfort during Invisalign treatment

Invisalign recommends wearing aligners regularly for predictable results


⚙ The video explains the process of bonding attachments to teeth, the use of IPR, and the simplicity of the treatment process.

01:49
The process of bonding attachments to teeth is similar to putting on braces or any other dental material, involving etching, bonding, and curing.

IPR, or interproximal reduction, may be needed to reduce black triangles between teeth or create space for crowded teeth to fit naturally.


🦷 The video explains the importance of properly labeling and wearing Invisalign aligners, and the lifelong commitment to wearing retainers after treatment.

03:33
Each aligner is clearly marked with the patient number and aligner number to avoid mixing them up.

At the end of Invisalign treatment, retainers are provided as a lifelong commitment, initially worn 24/7 for three months and then every night for about two years.

If you have crowns, some of the tray series will be more than a *little* uncomfortable, and it'll be for more than 2-3 days.

Former Vis user: LOVED THE RESULTS!!!! Some tips: Definitely comply with amount of time you wear the aligners and USE YOUR CHEWIES!!!
To keep clean: Hydrogen peroxide: I would soak them (small plastic "Tupperware" type container) in straight H2O2 when I removed them in the morning to eat or have coffee. Then brush them before I put them back in. Also, I still do this with my retainers in the morning. I found those tablets were a waste of money and didn't clean as well as the hydrogen peroxide.

I was in my 60's when I started the treatment. One of the best decisions I ever made. My trays were changed weekly and I had discomfort with only the 2nd tray. My treatment plan was supposed to be 32 weeks but then the world went nuts with the 19 and it was extended another 6 mths.

Had IPR on one tooth and it was nothing, seriously. I was nervous but felt nothing.
I wear my retainers every night- I worked too hard to get these straight, I'm not going to ruin it now. I think in 2 years I forgot maybe 4 times.

Tip; you can also get fixed retainers after the treatment (if it involved mainly your front teeth). It's just a thin wire attached to the back of your front teeth. Dentist does it once. It's much easier and less work, doesn't feel like a life-long commitment. I think Invisalign doesn't push this option, because they prefer to sell you aligners for the rest of your life ;)

Thank you for this! Very infomative. Whats your opinion on Spark aligners vs Invisalign?

[skateata]

I got two consultations booked so far. My roommate did invisalign and she mentioned the pain.

[star_dust]

Can you get invisalign if you have dental implants? Nobody really talks about this

[andreasfromsanandreas]

Can u tell more about digital dentistry and its prons and cons in comparison to impressions taking

[jencaizza]

I just got my Invisalign. I’m going to San Diego for a girls trip soon. Can I drink vodka/club soda with my aligners in?

[avinesh]

removing my invisalign is so painful lol

[Stripercuz_Creative]

Cool vid, very informative. I have veneers on my front four teeth. The ortho I saw said this will not be a problem for my treatment. If the attachments are bonded to any of those front teeth, will the bonding material damage the porcelain veneer upon removal? Thanks

[DentalTrends]

Is it possible to have an allergic reaction to the Invisalign and are there any alternatives if this happens?

[BlinTedla]

I love your detailed information. Very straight to the point and clear. Very helpful. Thank you 😊

[ra.j]

I disnt know I have to wear retainers forever
