Do teeth move after Invisalign ends? | with Dr. Powers

[@x12flare73]

Dentists don’t say this before treatment. However, retainers have a side benefit in that they protects your teeth from grinding together whilst you sleep. They’re not too bad to deal with once you think of them like that.

No

[@geethasreetati7687]

Where many dentists don't say about this before treatment

[@nehasharma8019]

Exactly i didn't even know anything about retainers crying now cause i have to probably wear them a long time

[@geethasreetati7687]

,@@nehasharma8019 at least they told you. I had twice braces still I got gaps.

[@sunflowermist23]

My dentist told me to wear retainer only for a year...and now after a year without retainers I have started having gaps and slight teeth protruding like before😭

[@IsabelJRP923]

I feel changes all around my face, my gums, my jawline, my cheeks, even my nose. My mouth wants to pucker up or frown but I keep reminding myself to smile. Throughout the day I find some relief when I massage my cheeks & jawline. I rub or massage my nose but I don't find relief there. The first 3 days were the worst. On my 18th day now. Still so much discomfort. I get some relief while sleeping.

On invisalign?

[@penguncamel8384]

MY MOUTH IS HURTING 😭😭😭

[@lilsnarvs3845]

thats weird. everytime i start a new tray i only have discomfort for a couple hours, maybe a day then it feels normal on my teeth. are u talking about braces?

[@penguncamel8384]

Oh that was when I first started it all! Its only soar sometimes..

[@Hmx_mrx]

Darkside of getting braces -- u have to wear retainer rest of your life 💔

[@thislifewithshantel]

So my upper gap moves within 30 mins of removing my retainer every morning so it’s painful putting them back on at night? Is that normal for teeth to shift so quickly

[@UrsaBella]

take vit d3 and k2. it helps to re-mineralize the bone

[@KateDunno]

I had braces for 7 years. I'm 58 and they have hardly moved at all. I wore the retainers for about 8 months until I threw them out because I wràpped them up in a tissue and stuck them in my pocket. Oops. My Mom kicked my butt. Lol

[@MeMyself-p5z]

That's how d u m b you really are.

[@elbeantako8411]

Ortho what? 😂

[@fontainelebrock345]

Thank you!!

[@doriscabrera8738]

The same happen to me. I had braces when I was a teen, and I had a beautiful smile and good mouth bite until I was about 40-50 that I start noticing that my bottom teeth was starting to get crooked again. I’m in the middle 50’s and I’m now I have to use alligners because the bottom teeth got so bad that It was hard to floss the area.

[@UrsaBella]

my teeth moved way before the Invisalign treatment. I could actually feel it. Retainer is great to prevent damage to teeth due to grinding. Just make sure you brush and floss teeth prior to placing a retainer.

[@melh4233]

In so much pain i almost want to stop treatment

[@lilsnarvs3845]

with invisilign? eveey time i switch trays i only feel mild discomfort for a couple hours then its normal

[@farhiaadeed2227]

My teeth are moving right know with out braces I guess I need braces

[@SHIZZLE71]

But if teeth do move that slowly, then surely by that logic you wouldn’t have to wear retainers every night. Maybe a couple times a week

[@0741921]

It's a precaution. Since you can't keep track of tracl of shift, they make it simple and say every night. But depending on each person, you might be fine with every few days too

[@mayda2060]

Pain pain pain

[@romavictor5252]

It's a waste of time and means it takes longer, as much as double the time than regular braces plus it costs more than regular.

[@0741921]

It's the same

[@Sibahem3]

I will go with sfot with invisalign there is less chance of relapse.
