Loose Tooth

[gap]

Hi Friends,


I'm currently on tray 3, which is my first tray with attachments. I'm 12 days into this set, and I have noticed one of my incisors feels a little loose.

It's not wiggling all over the place, but it feels slightly loose and is a little sensitive to hot beverages.

This incisor is right next to a gap from having a central incisor extracted.

My question is should I wear this tray a few extra days to let the tooth settle, or can I safely I proceed with the next tray in 2 days? I've noticed this sensation since having this new tray in place.

I'm afriad some of the mild trauma my teeth go through when I remove the aligners to eat during the first few days of a new set may really loosen the tooth beyond an acceptable amount.

I appreciate your input!

Best thing to do is consult your ortho.

Slight "wiggle" room is normal. Due to the constant pressure applied by your trays to your teeth in order to move them. Your current bone mass weakening and allowing your teeth to move in the desired manner, once they have reached the desired placement bone mass with strength to a normal state over time. This cause teeth to become a little loose, and sometimes sensitive. But as 350GT said if your tooth seems to be alarmingly loose or is painful/unbearable then I would also suggest calling your orthodontist.

Teeth that are moving tend to have some mobility associated with them. It may be even greater beside an extraction site as the area may not have fully healed.

This should generally not be a problem, but if you are concerned, schedule a visit to see your Invisalign provider.

Thank you all for the replies. I am sure what I am experiencing right now is normal, so I will proceed with the new tray tomorrow.
