Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Why do some people wear Invisalign trays for 2 weeks while others for 1 week?
Tray transition
Jan 13, 2021
It varies with the patient. Also how long you’re wearing the trays. Most common tray transition is between 7-10 days. If you wear 22 hours a day and only take out to eat or brush most orthodontists allow you to wear a week at a time. You can consult at your next visit and ask your doctor if you can transition sooner, especially if you notice your trays getting loose after 7 days. If they are still tight the longer you wear them the more comfortable the process is and less likely to avoid…
Why won’t my Invisalign retainer fit on my back molar tooth?
Invisalign tray not fitting.
Jan 13, 2021
This is common in Invisalign especially with back molars. Usually you can use a chewie that your orthodontist can give you to help seat the tray better, they may also trim the tray and pick up that molar in your next scan but it’s nothing to worry about, just consult with your orthodontist so they can note it in your chart and make sure to catch it at your next appointment. Hope this helps!
Invisalign and cigna orthodontics insurance question?
Insurance
Jan 13, 2021
I would call and get a virtual consult at a local orthodontist near you. Most offices offer complimentary. Then they would take your info and be able to give you an accurate estimate on how much to expect out of pocket. This is not a dumb question as insurance questions can be tricky. I don’t want to put false hope into a hopeful heart so it’s best to get an evaluation first to know how much your overall treatment would be. Most offices are doing Invisalign at the same cost as braces if not…
What is the most effective and longest lasting professional teeth whitening?
Professional Whitening Recommendations
Jan 13, 2021
I always advise to take a before photo ALWAYS! Then start with crest whitening strips and mouth wash first. See how many shades it gets your tooth color to before you go with the more aggressive approach. We use ZOOM in our office and see great results but some patients have high sensitivity so that’s why if you start with the crest first it helps get you to the ideal shade more comfortably. As far as chemical peels or fillers I would consult with your esthetician or nurse whoever is doing…
After Doing Full Invisalign Treatment, What Does It Mean to Need a “Refinement”?
Invisalign Refinements
Oct 13, 2017
Refinements are a normal part of Invisalign. Just as braces sometimes need to be repositioned to “refine” the results of braces treatment. Invisalign can also improve it’s result with these refinements. Some treatment plans require multiple refinements.
What Are the Pros and Cons of Invisalign Braces?
Pros and Cons of Invisalign
Oct 13, 2017
In summary, wearing Invisalign is like wearing removable braces that the patient decides then to remove and “reattach”. Having the ability to “detach” your braces when you want is a great advantage. Conversely, this ability may result in inadequate correction of the teeth should the patient choose to wear the aligners fewer hours than recommended. Try to imagine all the advantages you would have in wearing removable braces such as eating what you want, smiling for pictures, and playing…
When Do You Get the First Invisalign Aligner After Impressions Are Taken?
When to expect your First Invisalign trays after impressions
Oct 13, 2017
The short answer is about 4 weeks. However your Invisalign specialist and Invisalign need to spend as much time as needed to accomplish your treatment plan. Fabrication of the aligners usually takes a few days. The shipping to and from your specialist’s office is via UPS ground.
