Invisalign Dentistry Ask The Dentist Corinne Scalzitti

Question:
From almost the begining of my Invisalign treatment (about my 3rd aligner), almost every single one of my aligners has cracked.

My orthodontist seemed to think this was not a major problem, but I cannot believe this to be true.

I have finished my treatment and am wearing my last aligner until my retainer comes. In the beginning my ortho buzzed down my front button thinking this would fix the problem - it didn't help.

My ortho also said to wear out the aligner for the full two weeks before moving on to the next even though it was cracked.

Is this normal for aligners to crack throughout the entire treatment?? Overall I loved having Invisalign but I am just not sure about my doctor. ...Visitor from TX

Answer:
I have not had Invisalign aligners crack. You may need a midcourse correction.

I would suggest a consultation with another dentist to see if your treatment is proceeding as expected.
