A front lower tooth was pulled today to make room for Invisalign to do its work. The orthodontist said "start wearing the tray as soon as you feel comfortable - wait 3 days - or even start the same day." There are 4 buttons on my lower teeth, and I imagine the tray will be hard to get in and out. (I'm already wearing the upper tray and it is quite painful and difficult to remove. At first I couldn't get it off at all.) But I'd like to wear it tomorrow so I don't have this gaping hole. As the tray pulls on the adjoining teeth, or as I force the tray on and off, will it disturb the healing process? If I can't get the lower tray off at all for a day or two, is that a problem?
How soon after tooth extraction should I start wearing Invisalign?
Be sure the extraction site has stopped bleeding for sure, and the swelling has gone down some. That's what I would do. You don't want for it to start bleeding again.
Reply:The invisalign shouldn't affect the extraction, when you're comfortable wear it. It is suppost to be tight, it's meant to be moving your teeth. I don't understand what you mean by buttons though.
