If you have crowded teeth, the Invisalign tray has been designed to create a space between them and place them in a better position. After the second or third week of treatment, if the tray starts to feel loose, it means that the aligners are doing their job and moving your teeth. The aligners should fit snugly around your teeth without any large gaps. To ensure that the aligners stay close to your teeth, your orthodontist may give you a pair of small foam cylinders known as chewables.
You should chew on these every morning and night while wearing the Invisalign trays.To check that the aligners fit properly, they must fit snugly around the teeth and not be loose or swaying in any area. The aligners should fit hollow inside the teeth and should fit snugly to the edge of the teeth. If they don't fit correctly, it can lead to problem areas appearing. Teeth tracking involves checking that the invisible trays align with the teeth.
Symptoms of poor tracking include loose teeth, a space in the tray between the teeth, and the lack of proper teeth in the tray.When the compliance indicator was first introduced in aligners, it was used specifically for Invisalign Teen as a way of ensuring parents that compliance could be monitored and also as a motivation for teens to wear the aligners. While this indicator has not yet become a sophisticated quantifiable measure, a bold blue mark that remains on an aligner is a sign of an entirely new aligner.When you take off your worn aligner, check if the indicator has faded to some extent. The aligner can loosen over time as your teeth move, or it can stay tight for as long as you're scheduled to use it. If chews aren't effective at aligning your teeth with the aligners, you can ask your orthodontist to review and adjust your plan.
He has been practicing orthodontics in the New York City area since 1993 and is known as an Invisalign pioneer, mentor, and educator.Compliance means following an established routine around aligners to ensure maximum efficiency. If a patient comes in with the wrong aligner, it may be because they lost their last one or because they are generally disorganized throughout the process. When you keep your Invisalign in place for too long, your teeth will begin to return to their original place. For this reason, at each visit it is important to evaluate the fit of the new aligner and schedule it according to when you need to change them.It doesn't require much additional time for staff to verify that you are wearing the correct number of aligners during each visit.
This can help bring your teeth back into alignment if they don't seem to have moved far enough to be ready for the next set of aligners. He has trained more than 1,000 dentists in North America on behalf of Align Technology and has participated in several meetings of the Invisalign Summit, Greater New York State Dental Meeting and California State Dental Meeting.As long as the aligners fit snugly and don't stand up when you talk, that little space is fine. Even if it fits evenly around your teeth, there may be a small gap between the tips of your teeth and the aligner. Chewing on Invisalign chews will help apply enough pressure so that they fit perfectly.
When a spouse or parent calls to “pick up the next aligner” it often means that either they don't have any or they are embarrassed because their teeth don't line up due to their own mistakes.
