Last time i saw the dentist was 3 weeks ago, I rang when i was experiencing the pain and couldn't even drink and was told to use sensodyne toothpaste and reduce the time i was wearing the aligner, i rang up when i noticed the bruising and have been given an appointment for today so i'm going in late...

I can safely say I regret my IA, After 3 weeks of unbearable pain I can now drink warm drinks but still not cold with minor discomfort... But my tooth is now bruised from the damage the brace has done to the root and nerve... The tooth has gone a light shade of grey and I have been advised it may ge...

When i was younger I had a gap in my front teeth...i hated it!!
