Utswo:
I had braces as a teenager.. my teeth were perfect. My wisdom teeth came in.. I put off getting them out.. since there wasnt enough room in my mouth they made my teeth crooked. I couldnt stand it, my bite didnt fit together and it was just uncomfortable. Fast forward some, I got my wisdom teeth out and got Invisalign. My teeth werent that out of whack, so I only had 9 pairs of retainers.
Everything was going great but I slipped up and didnt wear them as much on the last 3 or 4 sets. I would take them out when I went out at night. Now it looks like my teeth are molding the aligners instead of the aligners molding my teeth. Is this a common thing with Invisalign if you dont wear your retainers enough? Can it be solved by getting copies of the last few retainers and wearing those the prescribed amount of hours per day? I also tend to clench my teeth when I have them in, and they seem to soften up a bit after wearing them for a while. Mabye thats why?
My teeth are much better than they were but still not close to perfect. I missed my last checkup and wont be able to get in for a while, so I havnt been able to ask my Ortho.
