Doctor’s answers

I’m sorry to hear you are having trouble with your bonding. It’s a good idea to speak with your dentist to ascertain why it keeps breaking. Perhaps you might be grinding which is impacting the longevity. We often suggest a splint to wear at night for patients with cosmetic dental treatment to protect their investment. A porcelain veneer is another option, but again, it’s important to protect the end results.

Is this a dental retainer? It sounds like they have made you a retainer which is different to an aligner. Can you contact them to confirm. Wearing one Invisalign aligner for a year is not common practice.

It’s hard to determine your progress without consultation and your provider will be best placed to answer this.
Having said that, to reassure you, even though you may not see visible results to begin with, there may be movement happening (ie in the back teeth). It all depends on the treatment plan created. Did your provider show you the clincheck? This will show you which teeth they plan to move and when.
Also another great tip… try and place you week 1 aligner in your mouth. I…

Fear of the dentist is not only common but totally understandable, especially if you have had a bad experience in the past.
It’s not ideal having your attachments on for that period of time. The good news is, that you may not have damaged your teeth. I would highly recommend you give your practice a call to discuss removing them during your next dental check up and clean appointment.
Take care and good luck :)
