Change to new trays before bed helps too. Because you will sleeping when it really start to bother you.
I love your detailed information. Very straight to the point and clear. Very helpful. Thank you 😊
Wauw, thank you so much for this informative video! I liked it and will watch it daily back! Btw you have beautiful teeth! ❤
Great advice, thank you.
Wonderful news, I think I would take steps to benefit from it
Can u tell more about digital dentistry and its prons and cons in comparison to impressions taking
Do not soak in warm water water can only be applied if room temperature to make sure that the aligners don’t shift by heat
Thank you . Very helpful
Cool vid, very informative. I have veneers on my front four teeth. The ortho I saw said this will not be a problem for my treatment. If the attachments are bonded to any of those front teeth, will the bonding material damage the porcelain veneer upon removal? Thanks
I’m starting my treatment tomorrow. Thank you for explaining the process in a clear manner. I appreciate it.
Same!!! I agree so much with you
Former Vis user: LOVED THE RESULTS!!!! Some tips: Definitely comply with amount of time you wear the aligners and USE YOUR CHEWIES!!!
To keep clean: Hydrogen peroxide: I would soak them (small plastic "Tupperware" type container) in straight H2O2 when I removed them in the morning to eat or have coffee. Then brush them before I put them back in. Also, I still do this with my retainers in the morning. I found those tablets were a waste of money and didn't clean as well as the hydrogen peroxide.
I was in my 60's when I started the treatment. One of the best decisions I ever made. My trays were changed weekly and I had discomfort with only the 2nd tray. My treatment plan was supposed to be 32 weeks but then the world went nuts with the 19 and it was extended another 6 mths.
Had IPR on one tooth and it was nothing, seriously. I was nervous but felt nothing.
I wear my retainers every night- I worked too hard to get these straight, I'm not going to ruin it now. I think in 2 years I forgot maybe 4 times.
How much does it cost?
@@lauradahlus Mine cost over $6000 but my insurance paid close to half- I think my patient responsibility was around $3200. I paid it in installments so it wasn't a big hit all at once.
I’m 63 and start mine in two weeks. Thanks for the info!
@@kayeb7809 congratulations!!
I’m almost 69 and almost ready to start. Glad to see there’s lots of us “oldies” here! Lol
Thank You. 😊
I got two consultations booked so far. My roommate did invisalign and she mentioned the pain.
What did you go with? Are you happy with the trails? What was the cost?
Thanks Dr. Nathan for such useful information. I really appreciate your work.
Tip; you can also get fixed retainers after the treatment (if it involved mainly your front teeth). It's just a thin wire attached to the back of your front teeth. Dentist does it once. It's much easier and less work, doesn't feel like a life-long commitment. I think Invisalign doesn't push this option, because they prefer to sell you aligners for the rest of your life ;)
This sadly isn't an option for anyone. I have only been able to get the fixed retainer on my lower teeth, on my upper teeth there is not enough space. So wearing braces for life it is.
I’ve heard permanent retainers can be bad for your oral health as you can’t floss properly and food gets stuck in the wiring causes more cavities
That wire will be hard to clean and will accumulate gunk ending up in bad caries, wearing retainer every night is not that bad
Personally, I would never want fixed retainers. It's a pain to floss and you can see them. My friend has a retainer behind her bottom front teeth and I can clearly see it when she laughs. She says she often doesn't floss properly because she doesn't always have the threader around and that even when she does, she tends to get plaque build up regardless.
I do t want fixed retainer. I’m starting Invisalign coz I already sleep with mouth guard for years & want to continue that
If you have crowns, some of the tray series will be more than a *little* uncomfortable, and it'll be for more than 2-3 days.
Please go to an Orthodontist (specialist) and not a general dentist for Orthodontic treatment. I wish i knew the difference between the two. I had so many problems when i had invisalign with a general dentist. Ended up going to an Orthodontist in the end to sort it all out and the difference between the two were leagues apart.
I’m curious what the differences were? Since Invisalign produces the trays and the plan based on your teeth…what impact did the dentist have versus ortho?
@@michellesutherland9078 exactly, i got mine from a general dentist
There is no difference. You are just advertising Orthondontist.
@@michellesutherland9078 Yes, invisalign produces the plan, the difference between a General Dentist and an Orthodontist in this matter- the Ortho knows how to change the plan if it is not correct for the patient, especially if they identify a problem. General dentists have little knowledge of Ortho in its entirety. I had gaps, food packing, bad contouring. The Ortho i found sorted all these issues out. The level of knowledge he had, compared to the Dentist was just on another level. I couldn't believe it, which i why i feel people need to know the difference.
Any General Dentist who says otherwise is just profiting, which is fine, that is the culture we live in. What i find amusing is, there seems to be some Dentists who are defensive on this subject matter, if you're insecure, go and study extra years so that it benefits the patient.
@@michellesutherland9078 The Ortho knows how to identify problems and change the plan VS General dentist, who is given the plan and follows it to a T: because they don't understand Ortho to it's entirety. I had gaps, bad contouring, pathology that were missed. When i found the Orthodontist, i couldn't believe the difference between the two. It was like choosing to drive a Clio vs a Ferrari. General Dentists get defensive about these comments, but if they are so insecure - then go and study some more years so that it benefits the patient and themselves, rather than doing short courses so that they profit quicker. There's a difference.
💡 Dr. Nate discusses 10 important things to know before getting Invisalign treatment, including pain management and wearing schedule.
00:10
Pain management tips for discomfort during Invisalign treatment
Invisalign recommends wearing aligners regularly for predictable results
⚙ The video explains the process of bonding attachments to teeth, the use of IPR, and the simplicity of the treatment process.
01:49
The process of bonding attachments to teeth is similar to putting on braces or any other dental material, involving etching, bonding, and curing.
IPR, or interproximal reduction, may be needed to reduce black triangles between teeth or create space for crowded teeth to fit naturally.
🦷 The video explains the importance of properly labeling and wearing Invisalign aligners, and the lifelong commitment to wearing retainers after treatment.
03:33
Each aligner is clearly marked with the patient number and aligner number to avoid mixing them up.
At the end of Invisalign treatment, retainers are provided as a lifelong commitment, initially worn 24/7 for three months and then every night for about two years.
Thank you for this! Very infomative. Whats your opinion on Spark aligners vs Invisalign?
I have the same question?? Which one did u go with in the end? I am about to start now and idk wich one to choose?
Wear retainers once a week? You’re too nice. My ortho told me to wear them every night. 13 years later, I can count the nights I’ve not had them in on one hand.
That's impressive!
It’s best to keep it to at the very least, every other night. Otherwise you will definitely get movement. This is why some people who had braces go on to have Invisalign in the future
Same here...forgot maybe 4 times. Now right after dinner, I brush and pop them in so I don't forget. I'm usually an OMAD so no snacking,
Hi, what is the frequency for follow ups i.e when i put my first invisalign, when i need to see the dr. Again to take measurements and transfer me to the 2nd invisalign
I went to get fitted mouth guard from my dentist. It cost $400 with no any insurance coverage. End up getting Invisalign & can’t wait to start
I know you said to take them out when drinking colored drinks, buttttt if I was to drink with a straw do I have to take them out still??
I’m starting my treatment tomorrow.😊😊
And you have to retainer for life, don't let dr to reduced you teeth for your teeth is ok.
@@BorgoyaryAmoli not for life, for another 2yrs
@@xozeintk8093 no if you to have to wear, I have asked those who had wear retainer for 3 years by the time they didn't wear and know it starting to change the position. Actually they lie. Because they 4 days ago I had removed my breaches. At first I made councling that how many days I have to wear the retainer after breaches and they said 3 months. And after completing my breaches journey they said to wear for life. Just loting and nothing
hello! is there anything to clean ur invisalign like by itself?
Do you carry, retainers that are teeth whitening to wear overnight.
Dr my dr took scan of upper teeth and put invislign on lower teeth now my lower teeth are on wrong place and i am in a very uncomfortable situation my teeth cannot rest on each other
Went for consultation while back and cause I had 2 more teeth at the bottom than top they wanted to remove them if I were to do invisalign. Is that a necessary thing?
Is it possible to have an allergic reaction to the Invisalign and are there any alternatives if this happens?
Invisalign, Spark or clear braces ? IDK with which one to go to get the best results??
Can we fit the aligner trays by our self?
Hello sir.
Can you please review my Invisalign treatment plan !?
Can someone tell me about IROK i heard about it from my orthodontist i don't know if i choose invisalign or IROK
I was going to get my first invisalign this week but due to exams I had to postpone my appointment and now my dentist said he won't be responsible if it doesn't fit. I can't control the movement of my teeth! What should I do?
Can you get invisalign if you have dental implants? Nobody really talks about this
Thank you for the informative video. Where do the attachments go? On the front of the teeth? Are they visible when you take the tray off?
The attachments go on every tooth that’s being moved so yes if you need your front teeth moved that’s where they will go
I was told that insurance does not cover even with my so called “black card “ of 1199 insurance.
Is it bad that my ortho is asking to extract 4 of my teeth?
If you have crowns, be advised your tooth can fall out. I started Invisalign two days ago and had to stop treatment because my tooth fell out…..
Am I supposed to wear aligners while sleeping?
can i just have 6 front lower tee aligned
Is it possible that your teeth are getting like a lot lighter and thinner because of this?
I just got my Invisalign. I’m going to San Diego for a girls trip soon. Can I drink vodka/club soda with my aligners in?
No only with water can you leave them in
No only with cool water, vodka or soda might cause them to become more visible and maybe even discoloration or deform then even.
Fck i will get my retainer soon after finishing my treatment. I drink white wine and beer and that isn't not problem when you change trays every week. Just a little bit discoloration. But retrainer will look awful.😢 I can't drink only water 😂
Is any age allowed to wear aligners?
I disnt know I have to wear retainers forever
Where you at?
How much does it cost? 🤔
Different for everyone but I’m getting mine in 2 weeks and it’s $6500. My insurance pays 2k a year and need to wear them 18 months for alignment of my jaw.
removing my invisalign is so painful lol
Why do retainers need to be put on for the rest of my life?
If the teeth have been moved and the new bone has already formed then it should already be done, or not?
Why would the teeth move back?
Because of the way we breath
When we breath from the mouth
The tong will be down and push the teeth to the front
So we have to practice breathing from the nose so the tong will be up
Because the periodontal ligaments contain memory cells which returns the tooth to its original position
Like cushions when you make pressure on them and free the pressure, they return to their original position
@@dinasalah9962 Shouldn't they memorize the new form at some point?
@@user-ln2on6eq5o So what happens when someone breathes trough their nose and continues to breathe that way after the alignment?
So wouldn't you say invisalign is the same as the retainers? 🤔
No because Invisalign has attachments for actually moving the teeth
How often you have to see the dentist using Invisalign?
My appointments with my Ortho are between 4 - 6 weeks. It's needed to track progress and to receive additional trays. My Ortho generally gives me 4 trays at a time. One tray is to be worn for 10 days and then I change to the next set.
@@jennifermadaris111 so even if you travel, it was not a problem?
I just got mine yesterday and they made my follow up appt 9 weeks out. Guess it varies?
@beverlybarrera8921 I'm actually on vacation next week headed to Miami and I will have a new set of trays packed because it will be time to change. Based on how happy I've been with my results, I don't mind it one bit.
@karenfrazier3826 I would say so. Actually due to how booked in advance the office is I'm at 8 weeks this time around. Hope that you love your results!
I am getting Invisalign and I’m gonna have them for a year and a half !?😢😮
18-24 months for me. It's my understanding it has to do with how much adjusting is needed.
Me too! Patiently waiting for my trays to come in! I’m terrified!!! But absolutely hate my smile!! I fast a lot so the no eating is going to be a breeze! I just hope all goes well! I take good care of my mouth as far as hygiene!
Just use a straw with your coffee. What’s the problem not doing that
PЯӨMӨƧM ✋
I'm the guy who's gonna tell you the truth, Invisalign sucks you can't eat whenever you want, it taste like shit when you take them off in the morning even if you brushed your teeth and flossed after your last meal, it's annoying you can't feel your teeth, and people will always offer you stuff and you got to reject it because then you will have to take them off to eat then brush your teeth and floss, your jaw hurts because you can't fully close your mouth and Invisalign is supposed to be invisible but everyone will know you have them trust me lol i think i should of went with braces because i don't have to worry about taking them off, plus it takes the same time to floss your teeth with braces because you still got to brush floss and then still clean your aligners, so if anyone thinks on getting aligners take that into consideration. if you think that won't bother you go for it. I still think I should of went with braces that way I eat whenever I want or drink whatever I want, also with aligners your supposed to drink only water because one you can stain them and second you have a higher chance of getting cavities cuz the sugar stays trapped in there with your teeth... Good luck on your Invisalign journey guys I hope for the best and take that into consideration.. one more thing Invisalign you can just quit you just stop wearing them braces you got to go through with it all the way unless you go to the dentist and tell them to take them off
I am debating that now.Ifk which one to choose.Invisiline,spark or clear brackets!? I've been watching a tots of videos and others say that with braces u get better and quickly results,but they can stain your teeth.The orthodontist I ve been told me the time is the same either w invisiline or braces....idk what to choose..
I think the same, I had braces and I’d definitely go for braces again. Uncomfortable at first but then you get used and you can enjoy a coffee a snack with no worries. They don’t limit you that much.
Ny doctor told me to put my aligner for one month
What about tmj? Does things cause tmd?
For me it will help with tmj. I guess it varies per person
It's like having a razor in your mouth, it's miserable! What they will never tell!
Honestly been wearing for over three months and don’t even notice them for the post part. It’s only been bad for first week.
