It's common for your teeth to feel a bit wobbly and loose when you first start wearing Invisalign aligners. This is because the aligners are shifting your teeth into a new, straighter position. Over time, as your teeth become more aligned, the looseness will go away. Invisalign works by gradually loosening your teeth and then carefully guiding them to the correct spot.
As a result, teeth that are being straightened can sometimes become loose. During this period, patients may choose to eat softer foods while their teeth are loose. Loose teeth don't usually stay that way for long. The jaw and body will eventually clench the tooth and everything will return to normal.
This is totally normal when using clear aligners. If tooth mobility is concerning or important to you, you should talk to your dentist or orthodontist. Invisalign isn't for everyone, but it may be perfect for those who only need minor dental correction, such as mild to moderate misalignment, an overbite, or an underbite. If you've been wearing a set of aligners for a while and they're coming loose, that's usually a good sign that the aligners are doing their job.
If you drink coffee or red wine, be sure to brush your teeth thoroughly to make sure you get rid of all the discoloration before putting your aligners back on. However, it's normal to have slightly loose teeth as Invisalign moves your teeth to their new straight position. If the teeth are excessively mobile or if the looseness persists for longer than expected, there may be an issue. The same thing happens with aligners: suddenly, the muscles of the mouth, gums and teeth are being used more.Although Invisalign is usually painless, you may feel like your teeth are loose while wearing the aligners.
Invisalign isn't for everyone, but it's ideal for people who only need minor dental alignment, such as mild to moderate misalignment, an overbite, or an underbite. You have to wear the aligners for 22 hours a day. 22 hours is basically a full day, with the exception of the two hours allotted for eating and brushing your teeth. Some people find that when they put on their aligners for the first time, they speak with a slight lisp, but others don't think that will change the way they speak at all.During this treatment, you'll continue to receive your upper and lower aligners, but you'll only change your aligners weekly for half of the time you're being treated.
Afterwards, you'll need a retainer. When you've finished your Invisalign treatment, you'll still have to wear a retainer at night to make sure that your teeth don't return to their previous unnatural position.
