I refuse to get traditional brace. Im very interested in invisalign. However, I have just a bit of overcrowding on the top teeth, but one of my canines is pretty out of place. Does anyon know if this type of treatment will work for this problem? Please email me

This is all seems to tie in with what i am experiencing now. I have only just had Invisalign fitted 3 days ago. I would hope that it gets better after your mouth gets used to the trays. The first 2 days were very hard, with incredible frustration and annoyance in the mouth. I wasn’t able to concentrate on much at all. I am praying it’s not as bad with subsequent trays, as the first tray!
Having said that, the invisible aspect of the trays is remarkable. I don’t think it’s possible for anyone to notice unless they look closely, you can’t even see it yourself unless close up in the mirror.
Right now I would swap some invisibility for less pain, but I’m hoping it will improve :-))
I admit I used alcohol to numb the relentless pain and frustration on the first 2 days …..maybe the above advice on pain killers is better

I am currently using invisalign and had 3 cavities I needed filled, before my fillings set, my dentist put my trays in and my fillings were perfect and my trays unharmed. Your dentist should be familiar with working around this, it was no problem for mine!
