I stood on my aligner and cracked it. Will I need to pay for a replacement aligner? What should I do?

Q.

Hello. I’m really worried about my invisalign aligner. A piece at the back of the aligner has snapped off. It was my own stupid fault, I took the aligner off the clean my teeth and it fell on the floor then I stood on it. I don’t know what to do I’m scared that my dentist will just go off on one because he’s not the most patient of people I’ve ever met, he’s very blunt. Will I have to pay for a new aligner to be made? I was due to have my aligner changed next week anyway but obviously I’ll miss out on a weeks worth of treatment. What should I do? Thanks!

The pain from invisalign aligners isn’t subsiding, should I be worried?

Q.

Hello there, I just wondered if you could help me out with something? I’m experiencing great pain, particularly in my front teeth and I’ve been using the invisalign treatment for around 5 weeks now. My orthodontist said it’s normal to experience pain and I did at first but then it subsided but honestly, it’s really painful and even the painkillers don’t seem to be making that much difference! Should I be worried about this? I understand it’s good that there’s a little bit of pain because then I know the treatment is working but I can’t cope with it much longer. Thanks for your time!
