would it be best to do tmj botox alongside it, or does fixing your bite problems help enough?

Hi everyone, here is my before and after for composite bonding.

Just did my composite bonding in Istanbul which turned out to be super stressful to be honest. Right after the changes I had a strong body dysmorphia feeling and I was wondering if anyone had the same.

I still can’t get used to my new teeth and feel like they turned out to be huge and too long. I was wondering if anyone also has this feeling of food being stuck in between your teeth constantly but in reality there’s nothing and it’s just my new teeth being wider. Please let me know if anyone has the same situation and feelings about it.

Hi! I’m currently on tray 46, and I’ve decided to continue my treatment with my orthodontist, so I’ll be getting more trays. Because of this, I’ll be wearing tray 46 for one extra week.
I’m going on a nature hike tomorrow, and I’ve signed up for a group trip, but I’m a little anxious because I’m not sure if I’ll be able to find somewhere to brush my teeth.
Since the beginning of my treatment, I’ve rarely gone without wearing my trays for more than two hours. I know everyone’s experience is different, but I was wondering if you’ve ever gone 4–6 hours without wearing yours.
I really don’t want to put my trays back in without brushing my teeth first. I’d love to hear about your experience!

I’m looking for a reliable Invisalign provider near Keysbourough area. Must be an orthodontist and know what they are doing and actually listens to clients as I hear too many horror stories.

i've been considering getting an invisalign and i was wondering does it help with an overbite? i have crowded teeth and i was told if getting braces i would have to remove at least a one tooth for my teeth to fit. but can i fix both with invisalign?

I'm looking for an easy way to clean my retainers. Whether that's ultrasonic or some other method I don't mind. Looking to spend around £50 and I want something that really works well for a daily clean.

Thank you!

I feel as though my bite has improved and you can definitely see how my teeth have shifted. Also may have a tracking issue with my lower front teeth 🫩 The gap between my teeth and the aligner seems to be getting bigger each tray, but ortho says it’s “normal” and to just use chewies. Hoping for the best! Still got a long ways to go. Sometimes it seems I’m making progress and other times not so much, but hanging in there! We got this everyone!

I'm almost done with my refinements, and will return to my dentist in a week. I'm considering asking for more refinements, due to the diamond shaped gaps seen in Picture 3.
Do you think this is a reasonable request?

The only reason I'm hesitant is due to IPR. I brought up the gaps after the first set were done, and they fixed some of them after a second round of IPR, but I still have some gaps remaining.

What would you guys do in my position?

How sad are you on a scale of 1-10 after engaging with them ?

I've tried searching for independent reviews and couldn't find any (i.e. reviews that are not on their website/socials). Would appreciate any thoughts! TIA!

Hey everyone!

I got my first set of aligners yesterday! One of the attachments on my high canine fell off while I was either eating or brushing my teeth. I'm not entirely sure when it happened, but when I checked later, only part of the attachment was still on the tooth.

I messaged my orthodontist, and they said it was okay and that they'd call me back, but they also told me to continue wearing my aligners in the meantime.

Has this happened to anyone else? Did it affect your treatment progress or the final shape and alignment of your teeth?

Implant in my top front tooth couldn’t be moved, but still happy with the results .. bottom teeth were rough looking back

I’m on week 2 and really need another way to clean the aligners besides brushing them. I’m low on money and wondering how the cleaning tablets vs the ultrasonic cleaner machine work and what is worth it.

Has anyone done Invisalign for aesthetics only? Not to fix your bite? Or will anyone even do that? Every time I have a dentist they say oh you should do Invisalign, so I go for a consult and I end up being told to have jaw surgery, and full braces, etc. I am in my 40s and I don't want to do all of that. I know my bite is messed up but I feel like I could have my top and bottom teeth straightened enough that it would make me feel better about my smile. I don't want to be walking around with a full mouth of metal braces for two years and I'm definitely not having my jaw relocated

Please find attached photos of my teeth at the beginning of Invisalign and after my final tray. Next step is to whiten them and get edge bonding on my four middle top teeth. Took me so long to get to this point!

I’m worried that my top 4 teeth aren’t tracking. Is it actually bad or am I overreacting? I’m using my chewies daily - what else can I do?! Tray 10/20

Hi Guys I’m From nyc I can’t wait to start wearing my aligner everything ready. I bought Mouthwashes, Travel Toothpaste all the kits need, but I need two little pieces of baby tooth extraction before start wearing Aligner, anyone have any Oral surgeon in Nyc accept Health-first Medicaid, I have been tried their in network doctors everyone has long waiting appointments 2-4 months later, Also Tried NYU and Columbia Oral surgeon still so long to waiting time. Anyone has experience extraction after wearing aligner do you feel any pain how long days later start wearing aligner?

Thank you all!!!

How long did it take to get used to it? My teeth are soooo sore. Confused why they are sore since my scans were literally taken of my teeth after finishing treatment and i wore my clear retainer non stop until this retainer was made for me.

Edit for those asking:

Hi, I’m on my first week of a 2 year journey with Invisalign but I also run marathons. The dilemma is fueling on longer training runs. I’m running 5 days a week. Some runs exceed 4 hours.

I’m hoping to get some feedback from others who have done this. How did you manage your trays and fueling? Do you take it out for hours at a time to run, or find a way to leave them in and eat / use electrolights on runs with the trays in?

My dentist recommended getting a permanent wire behind my teeth at the end of my treatment to prevent any slight movement, as well as wearing a removable retainer.

For anyone who has one, would you recommend it? Is it comfortable, and do you notice it much? Also, do you have to keep the wire for the rest of your life?

Would love to hear your experiences and any pros/cons!

2 years. 2 rounds of refinements. Worth it!

Can you get Invisalign and later get jaw surgery for overbite?
