Invisalign: teeth loose

Tue, Jul 15, 2008

You searched for it ...

One of our visitors was looking for this information and we thought it would be a good idea for a topic too. It is clear that he/she is currently under Invisalign treatment and the teeth are not as “tough” as they normally are. Our reader is scared about them being loose.

DON’T BE! It’s normal.

The entire orthodontics treatment is based on the ability of our teeth to move to a new position and to rotate. On a regular basis our teeth are strong and very well “welded” into their places. Their movement in this case would be impossible without them breaking or messing the jaw bone too.

This is why we should admire our body’s way to react to the small but constant forces the orthodontics devices place on the teeth: out teeth, when under such constant pressure, start being loose in their “sockets” and then they can be moved and rotated till the orthodontics treatment is getting the desired result.

Invisalign, such as any other system, has the ability to move these teeth. After some weeks in the treatment you’ll already notice your teeth seem to “fall off” from all their mobility. Don’t be scared, they are still well placed there, you won’t lose them, even if you feel 10 years old again.

With the metal braces the movement can be spotted even earlier, but Invisalign, such as all the other systems, also relies on the same thing: our teeth ability to be “mobile”.

So .. if you’re wearing Invisalign and the teeth are loose, be happy. It looks like the treatment is working nicely and your teeth will be OK. It’s NORMAL!

    I was scared too after reading these articles because we are wearing invisalign to make our teeth become stronger and grow in a proper place. I even did not know when we are wearing invisalign our teeth moves to a new position and these movements even break down and mess up our jawbone too. These treatment seems good, after we wear invisalign we came to notice our teeth seems to be fall off but it’s the sign that the treatment is working nicely and our teeth will be normal. Its time to be happy that we can create a beautiful smile.

    I was a bit scared too after reading these articles as it will mess up with jaw bones. Before I thought wearing invisalign doesn’t need all those mess up? I even did not know when we are wearing invisalign our teeth moves to a new position and these movements even break down and mess up our jawbone too. Even thought it will get more pain during treatment it seems good as the result will be perfect. After we wear invisalign we came to notice our teeth seem to be fall off but it’s the sign that the treatment is working nicely and our teeth will be normal. It is time to be happy that we create a beautiful smile.

    I’m wearing braces and i’m freaking out because one of my teeth are loose… so… it’s okay then? because i’m scared it will come out or something, moreover, sometimes i suck on my teeth and i’ll hear sounds, like ‘tak tak tak’ or something. is that really okay?
