OK I have a question for my fellow Invisalign wearers. I am doing well and on my fourth tray(23U and 23L). I manage to average about 21 hours consistently but continue to fall short of the 22 hrs recommended on most days. Now I have read all of the dangers of root issues and loose teeth but can anyo...

Sorry to hear you are also going through this. I have also lost my voice.

I am going to call my ortho tomorrow just to check in and see if should be cleaning my aligners with something specific. In the meantime, I am going to try that Listerine idea!

I will post his response.

Good luck!

I have Strep Throat and find it so painful keeping my aligners in. I am doing it, but it is just one more thing to be a bother as if the throat feeling like broken glass isn't bad enough.

I am scheduled to change my aligners on Monday but does that actually mean Sunday night before I go to bed? It would mean Monday night if I count the fourteen da...

Hi there, I am still a newbie...On day six of my first set. Things are definitely getting better but I have three questions for all of my fellow Archwired seasoned invisalign users; 1. When I went for my consult, my ortho indicated that I had mild crowding and a very slight bite issue but indicated ...

Thanks.....it is definitely getting better day by day. On day four today I barely notice them. On Monday I was wondering if I had made a huge mistake. I guess it can only get better from here!

Hello all, I am new to the boards and to Invisalign. I am on day four! I have 23 trays upper and lower and only four attachments :) My ortho said he added in the three trays at the end for "over-correction" and does not think we will use them but we shall see. So far so good. I am a little...
