Hi, I’ve been using my chewy on a regular at least 3 times a day, or more, and my orthodontist is still saying that the aligner is still not flush. When I did my recent scan, I made sure that I used the chewy b4 doing the scan with my aligners in. There is still space between some of the teeth and aligner. Any tips, or thoughts?

Doc, yesterday i got my hawley retainers . But when i woke up in the morning (i slept with them on) there was a small gap forming in between my two front teeth🥺 should i visit the dentist asap? Or will it fix by itself ? Please reply 😭🙏

Im having the same issue when I changed to tray 4. Can you give me an update on your progress? Did it happen again for you or were you able to continue your treatment?

Should i use toothwaste with electric toothbrush? Or just toothbrush and water

Sounds like an incredible amount of willpower is needed for the invisalign diet. Count me out! 😂

Love you videos, so clear and informative!

I watched this whole video! 😮 you did a good job explaining

I am on invisalign and am not satisfy with my treatment plane can i change my plan is it cost further Am on my 8th aligner

I’m really confused why my orthodontist has me wearing my bands from the top molars to the front teeth. I have an overbite and my lower teeth are curled in. Why would they be moving them even further back? Additionally, it took me an hour to get my rubber bands in on the first night. Just not seeing or understanding the value of the time investment.

Pls help my new top retainer is so hard to take out and it has nail dents at the edges already with less than 1 weeks wear

So I lost an attachment on day one. 🤦🏼‍♀️ one from a back tooth on the bottom….. how common is that??? Going back to get it replaced next week hopefully.

My Day 1-3 of new tray is the hardest. Hard to remove, hard to put on and it hurt a lot. Then on Day 4-7 it's loose and everything is easy and no pain .

Use a BART tool from EOCA

Hi. I am so happy to have found your videos. I started clear aligners this week and you answer more of my questions than my dentist did!

Thank you so much. Heading to the beach for 4th of July week and trying to figure how to navigate the aligner time but not add on extra days before switching trays. Your videos are so helpful. Thank you!

I am on day 4 of my aligners and have been logging just over 22 hrs. The app is extremely helpful so thank you. Thank you for the 3 hrs off suggestion. I am going on vacation shortly and that will help my stress. Otherwise, sticking to 22.

My dentist said to me if I use normal metal braces I need rubber bands but If I use invaslign then I dont need it. Now I’m confused

I'm in my mid 20s and I have to change the trays every 7 days.

THANK YOU FOR THIS!! I also learned more from you than my own dentist. I was not aware of how important it was to make sure I had no air gaps. I was on Tray 5 and had to go back to Tray 2 to correct one tooth that was not tracking. I did not know about chewing exercises either 😢. So I almost back to square one unfortunately.

I had two refinements where my ortho had them set up for rubber band wear but every visit I kept being told I didn’t need them so I was never given elastic and now here I am on yet another refinement set to strictly fix my bit and some minor molar adjustments with elastics finally

Hello doctor,i have been told by my orthodontist that my tongue thrust is due to the fact that my tongue volume is too large. I had a relapse of orthodontic treatment because of it and have been suggested a certain glossectomy as a solution.Can you please provide your valuable opinion on the said glossectomy?Thankyou so much

So glad I found your video, I was hoping to find this. I started with 7 for my top but we are now on 21. I recently noticed that my teeth looked much better around 7 or 14. How do you fix a situation where let's say you liked your teeth better at 14 but now you are at step 20 and your mouth has now changed, therefore 14 doesn't fit? My teeth were more spacious, I never had a crowding problem. However now it is much tighter since the dentist I am guessing was trying to straighten up my bite. My mouth had a lot more room before so when I put on my older aligners they are big. How can I correct or fix this? What would your recommendation be

A X-ACTO knife works good for trimming too just got to be careful

I have a question. I had Invisalign for nine months and I feel like there’s a few teeth that I need tweaking but the dentist took off my attachments and ordered my retainer. Is it too late to make any changes?

I really don't know if I should get braces or not. I'm having an Overjet.

You mentioned calorie reduction... I'm about to get aligners with an eating disorder and I'm super worried about that...

Really helpful. Thank you very much.

Wait so, how many hours would you say, would a person with elastics rubber bands, would have to change it? For example, would it be every 5 hours to change it?

Are you suppose to clean the aligners every time you take them and eat?

My average is 21-21.30 hours. I think its very hard and stressfull to try 22 hours. Thank you for the video and trayminder app🙏

Mam ,i have scalloped tongue since 2 month suddenly it happen,before i dont have any type of problem, how I can get rid of it mam,why i cause scalloped tongue and swelling in my tongue or i have teeth mark on tongue edges

Thanks for the heads up on the Invisalign crystals. I was just about to waste money on it. I think I'll try a soaking mix of listerine and peroxide

İnvisalign mi Clear correct mi? Hangisini tercih etmeliyim

Super helpful! Thank you!

I just cracked my second set the other night cleaning my aligner. I am wearing it still but worry that it will break before my 9 days are up to switch. This video was very helpful, thanks Dr. Bailey!

The Tray Minder app helps a lot!

Good tip!

Do aligners affect teeth enamel?

Fantastic app! I will recommend to all my patients!

What about if someone ALWAYS scrapes their teeth on a fork/spoon when they eat?? My friend does this - drives me crazy

I used munchies instead of chewies, I found they seat the aligner so much better!

Before I go to dentist I decided to see braces iwill wear how it will look and ifound also ihave tongue thrust alhamdulilah ifound it Before I wear braces but my tongue is so big and ithink will not be normal easily 😢

My issue is more with getting the aligners back into my mouth over the attachments. It takes 15 minutes to get them back into my mouth, it’s awful. Any tips?

Your videos are very helpful. I learned so much from your tutorials-I wish my orthodontist was half as helpful.

Oh no, I’m the outlier! I have brushed my teeth 28 times on a couple of days! I’m a grazer and I can’t adjust. The Movements help, but I work from home & between stress of a remodel & getting snacks for workers…I’m either going to wear off my enamel or have a million cavities-probability both!!

I wish my dentist gave me your link to start. I’m grateful for finding you. Your videos are so much more helpful than anything & everything my dentist has told me! She just scolds me constantly but never tells me why I should be doing anything or how much. I popped 3 chewies & she said I was doing it wrong, but never told me what to do or why, or how long! Ditto for how long to wear (days). Just 22 hrs a day, which caused migraines. She shook her head & said to get used to it.

My dentist told me I'd be wearing mine 23.5 hours a day when I first got them in... I was like really? He said yes, pop them out eat brush your teeth and pop them back in. So do I eat once a day then or.....I quickly realized this was ridiculous, now I shoot for 22-22.5 hours... I think the plan was tell the patient 23.5 and hope for 22

This so helpful, I was going to all fit my money back lol

What’s the difference in the pul tool and orthokey please? I got mine today and really struggle to get them off so looking at getting one of these tools, do I need both or just one? Which one should I get? My attachments are mainly at the front x

My ortho definitely wasn't specific about how much to use the chewy.
