    @vanessavega775@vanessavega775 Жыл бұрын

  • SO HELPFUL!! Thank you! 😃 Downloaded the app last night to try. I’m an older patient (39), some teeth are wobbly, one more than the rest. X-ray shows tooth and gums/bone are in good condition but one tooth in particular has more ‘space’ around it (i forget what that area is called), I guess from the movement and changing trays too quickly for some teeth (7-8 days). I’ve been wearing tray 13 for 6 weeks because I heard a loud crack early in tray 12, but that was just before new years. Waited it out as I didn’t have any real pain. Didn’t know if it was the tooth, the tray, or what. Switched to tray 13 after 14days, had more pain, particularly that tooth. It felt weird, extra sensitive to touch, when wiggle or press on it could hear a really quiet click. Had an appt but then my tonsil was sore and with covid being a thing these days I felt I needed to be responsible and reschedule. Pain was not anything unreasonable but naturally if I did have a cracked tooth/root I didn’t want to switch trays yet w/o knowing what was going on. So, another 2 wks of tray 13 to make sure I wasn’t sick. Was clear to go in (at 4wks of tray 13), got x-ray/assessed, dentist said ther’s the slightest line where there could have been a crack but it’s definitely not cracked now (I take Vit K2 in a multivitamin format, maybe in the 6wks enough repair happened, OR maybe it wasn’t cracked at all) told everything but that space looks good but lets wait 2wks longer with this tray to see if anything changes with the tooth’s mobility. Now been 2wks, saw dentist again, still wobbly (I can’t move it with my tongue, or tongue can’t perceive it). So I’m moving on to 14 but will need to have a visit with my ortho for a followup to get his opinion, if concerned or if it’s expected for what we’re doing + my age. Last visit he had said 10days per tray is good if 7 feels too fast. I am inclined to think no less than 12... I suppose it can vary one tray to the next. Also realized that around tray 12 I was taking in far less calcium. I don’t drink dairy, rarely eat it (cheese, if I eat pizza basically). I mainly get calcium from almond milk and whatever greens/veg/fruit/nuts/seeds I put in my daily smoothie and my multivitamin. Still that’s not enough. So I bought calcium supplement that contains Magnesium and D3 and hopefully this will be a help to my teeth and bones. Especially at my age. I hope there a video on the use of “chewies”... I need an explanation about whether it is purely to ensure the fit is proper or if there is also some science about what that does to the gums/bone etc and speeds things up. Been confused on that subject. The “chewies” my ortho hands out are the plastic suction sticks they use to suck your saliva out during procedures. They have a wire to hold a bend in them. So biting on a wire (though covered by the plastic) is what I thought cracked my tooth. I was chewing when I heard the crack... going to buy some ‘Y’ shaped silicone chewy tool on Amazon today. Hopefully that will ensure I don’t crack teeth/bone in the future and be much friendlier (and sanitary).

    @MsJdub99@MsJdub993 жыл бұрын

    • You’re welcome. We hope TrayMinder will be helpful for you. There is a video on chewing exercises. The main use is to help seat your aligners better so that your teeth move more efficiently. There is no research that shows that using chewies will speed up tooth movement in a biological manner.

By the end of my treatment, if I’ve successfully moved teeth and the bone has remodeled appropriately, why do people need retainers? It seems there is not pressure on the teeth to move back. What causes teeth to want to move back to where they were?

I do have a question too: if it takes a minimum of 4 hours for the process to start and 6 is an ideal amount of time for pressure, then isnt taking out the aligner to eat a meal causing us to lose progress between breakfast and lunch? Incentivizes eating quickly but this is hard when teeth hurt lol

  • thank you, Dr. Bailey, this video was very informative and helpful, I got my Invisalign two days ago and the pain has been okay, now I don't want to jinx myself, but it doesn't hurt as much as I expected it to which is sweet. I have a question! is having a midline in the middle important? or is it just for aesthetics? i got a tooth pulled out when i was a kid so my ortho had to take the tooth on the bottom out as well. I really don't want to take more teeth out just to put my midline in the middle though..

    • Thanks for the nice comment. Regarding midline, it depends on many factors. For some patients, having coincident midlines is not worth the increased treatment time/efforts required.

  • Hi Dr. Bailey, thank you SO much for your helpful videos and app! I’m on my first week of Invisalign, and I’m loving your app! ❤️ I just watched a YT video from a dentist who says that with braces, the tooth roots get moved, but with aligners, only the crowns get moved, and so the crown & root is basically twisted instead of aligned. He doesn’t recommend Invisalign for this reason and says to go with braces instead. I’ve never heard this before, and it’s a little concerning. Based on your video, it’s sounds like they do get moved, but is it to the same degree as braces? Do the roots stay in alignment with the crowns? I’d love your thoughts on this!

    • Thanks for your comment. Yes, aligners can move roots. Braces and aligners are tools that orthodontists use to move teeth. Different providers prefer different tools for different cases.

  • Thank you Dr Bailey! This video is incredible and I appreciate you taking the time to explain. I have a question. When only certain teeth are supposed to move but not the molars, what happens to the space? For example, my molars aren’t supposed to move but other front teeth are. Wouldn’t that cause space between those moved teeth and the molars if all teeth aren’t moving? Or does the muscle rebuilding fill the gap? If there’s a gap? Thank you!

    @sincerelybrittany6176@sincerelybrittany61763 жыл бұрын

    • Thanks! Your question is difficult to answer without having access to your ortho records. It’s common to not move the molars and only the front teeth if your bite is already ideal. You can always request your ortho simulation plan from your orthodontist. Unless implants are treatment planned and spaces are to be made, any residual spaces are closed and bone fills in.

  • Great explanation, great content. So if instead of switching my aligners ever 7 days, I switch them every 6 days. And instead of switching my aligners every 14 days, I switch them every 10 days. Will that be an issue cause I have no issue with mobility? I get why I don't feel any pressure now cause it's filling in the space but will that still affect me if I switch a little too early? Plz respond 🙏

  • So how do I know if the resorption and bone restructure after tooth movement takes 7 or 14 days? Should everyone change trays after 14 days to be sure that the resorption is finished? I’m 51 and I’ve been changing trays after 7-9 days. My teeth are very sore and feel very loose, but I don’t know how sore and how loose is normal, as I can’t compare. I can’t use the chewie in the first 3 days, as it hurts too much, like I’m pushing my teeth onto the bone.

  • I had just removed my lower premolars to fix my under/crossbite. I put my rubber bands in 2 days after the surgery. Do you think by canine will move fairly fast since there’s no other tooth there? But the extraction site is still healing? I hope the gaps close as soon as possible, since I’m applying a heavy rubberband on that side.

    @1surftheblue@1surftheblue2 жыл бұрын

    • Definitely ask your orthodontist about your unique situation. Light continuous pressure is best. You are right that a fresh extraction site presents a unique opportunity to move teeth faster. Keep in mind though that heavy forces can cause tipping of the crown part of the tooth, which will need to be uprighted.

    • Hang in there, it will get better. Tylenol (if not allergic) is good for pain management, decrease number of times you take aligners in and out, and doing chewing exercises with chewies (see chewie video) to stimulate blood flow are general recommendations. Please reach out to your orthodontist if you have any concerns or if the pain lasts more than a week. They will be the best to guide you on what to do.
