Been to the ortho this morning and we didn't even get top the allergy questions.... What happened? Well.....My first aligner didn't fot well at all, there was a lot of open space behind my teeth until the second to last molars...This made speaking nearly impossible...I thought this was normal until ...

Thank you for responding! Curlew, I will take the report with me on thursday..I started taking the meds and I feel much better now! But I will be MUCh happier if I can prolonge treatment without having to take a quite heavy medicine with is quite sedative too! I must admit I have been slacking the l...

I'll try with he pics later! For now, Ihad a terrible night..waking up with a soar throat every half hour..by now I really suspect invisalign is causing some allergical reaction...I have swollen glands, puffy face and red eyes and I feel lousy..I am allergic to other things as well, so I recognize t...

Thanx drgnchsr36, I'll keep you posted...

hmm...can't post the clincheck or pictures..The pictures are too large and the clincheck is not allowed..

Hi drgnchsr36! Honestly...I don't know...I've been asking myself this question for the past few days....I was so happy that there was a treatment with removable appliances...I remember from my first time in braces that I felt really claustrofobic and out of control about the whole thing...It's a cha...

Hi clearstepguy! Great news that you could switch to your second aligner! The second one for me fit like a glove :wink: I was happy about that, because it means that things are " on track" right? I have an appointment with my ortho on thursday and I will discuss with her the 10 day cycle, ...

Thank you KUMonkeymomma for the response! I am in my third week with the aligners now and I still have flu like symptoms of an on..I visited my GP today and he said it was a combination of an infection and a severe allergical reaction. In the last few days I also developed some asthma-like symptoms,...

Thank you very much for answering my questions!

First let me tell you that I think it is great that you take time to answer posts here! I have a question that concerns invisalign treatment in general. I became very interested in the process etc. and did a lot of research on the internet and visited several orthodontists before I decided to go ahe...

Hi! My two cents: I wouldn't mind braces on my online date at all... I don't know if you are male or female, but as a woman, also in her thirties and single and dating, I would say I'm looking for something more then appearance, and I like to see people taking care of themself and of their health! I...

Hi clearstepguy, Good to hear you are getting along nicely with the aligners...I also drink tea with my aligners (after letting it sit for a while, I don't want it to be too hot and damage the aligners) My understanding was that the aligners must be worn for 300 hours, if you wear them 20-22 hours a...

Hi Siiennah, Well, at least you know now that you are following instructions correctly! :D I read elsewhere that midcourse correction and refinements could mean a whole new treatment from a new starting position...And it makes sense that your dentist deosn't want you to wear trays that don't fit cor...

Hi wiredmouth! Just stopping by to congratulate you on your journey to a healthy and beautiful smile! I recently got braces for the second time in my life, invisalign this time around and I am so happy I found this website! It is good to know your not alone eh? Looking forward to follow your progres...

Oef..I don't want that to happen...What am I going to do with all the really expensive aligners then??

I've been reading the thread about respiratory problems while wearing invisalign..I've decided to stop wondering about this for now...I have got a nasty flu and that's it...

Thanx guys!
